JAKARTA - The Special Economic Zone (SEZ) of Industropolis Batang has again recorded a new history in the national investment map. PT Crecimiento Industry Indonesia, a global footwear manufacturing company from China that has been established since 1980, officially signed a Ready-to-Use Factory Building Rental Agreement (BPSP) with an investment value of IDR 310 billion for a three-year rental period.

This strategic agreement was signed by KUO, TA-WEI, Commissioner of PT Crecimiento Industry Indonesia, and Ngurah Wirawan, President Director of SEZ Industropolis Batang. This is not just an ordinary rental agreement, but an important chapter in the company's global expansion as well as concrete evidence that Indonesia, especially Batang, has become a magnet for international standard industry players who prioritize sustainability, efficiency, and long-term synergy.

We are preparing a phase for the construction of the main factory. However, we don't want to wait. By renting a BPSP, we can immediately start production activities, test land test readiness, as well as accelerate integration in the fast-growing footwear industry ecosystem in Batang," explained KUO, TA-WEI, in a statement, Friday, May 23.

The Ready-to-Use Factory Building is an adaptive solution for global companies to start production quickly, without having to wait for the construction of the factory to be completed. This step shows how the Industropolis Batang SEZ is not only a place, but also a strategic partner in industrial growth and transformation.

PT Crecimiento Industry Indonesia has officially joined as the tenant of the Industropolis Batang SEZ since December 18, 2024, occupying an area of 1.9 hectares so that the investment value reaches 32 million US dollars. To date, the company has absorbed 120 local workers from Batang Regency and its surroundings, and this number is projected to continue to grow as full operations run in the future.

Products produced in the form of components and footwear materials for various well-known world brands, including Nike, Hoka, Converse, and Adidas. This commodity will be marketed to various countries, including Vietnam, Taiwan, Myanmar, and of course, back to the domestic market and China as the center of global distribution.

More than just a production center, the presence of PT Crecimiento Industry Indonesia emphasized the big mission of SEZ Industropolis Batang as a sustainable industrial area that combines technology, environment, and sides with local workers. Crecimiento products will prioritize sustainable raw materials, with efficient manufacturing, energy efficient, and low waste processes.

"KEK Industropolis Batang is designed not only as an industrial area, but also as an environmentally and inclusive labor-intensive ecosystem. We welcome the presence of Crecimiento as a strategic partner who shares a similar vision," said Irma Herdiana Sefrinta, Head of the Industrial Sales Department of SEZ Industropolis Batang.

He also added that the SEZ tenants get various advantages that are not available in ordinary industrial areas, ranging from fiscal incentives, ease of licensing, premium facilities, to logistics connectivity that reach national ports and strategic infrastructure.

With the face of a new industry greener, more inclusive, and more globally connected, PT Crecimiento Industry Indonesia's move at SEZ Industropolis Batang is a symbol of harmonious international collaboration. Not only bringing global technology and networks, but also committed to growing with local communities, creating jobs, and strengthening the supply chain of the national footwear industry.
