September 2024 – PT Hiron Indonesia Industry officially held the groundbreaking
of its first factory in Indonesia. After previously being successful as a
commercial freezer distributor and having a warehouse located in North Jakarta,
Hiron is steadily expanding its business by building a factory in the Kendal
Special Economic Zone, Central Java. The investment value of this business
expansion is projected to reach Rp. 820 Billion.
Hiron is a
refrigerator company from China, namely Qingdao Hiron Commercial Cold Chain Co

produce 500,000 refrigerator units per year. PT Hiron Indonesia Industry plans
to further strengthen its sales network in the local market and expand its
export sales network through production in Indonesia.
President
Director of PT Hiron Indonesia Industry, Shao said that Indonesia was the right
country to be chosen as Hiron's expansion location. "Apart from having a
market here, Indonesia also offers various investment conveniences such as ease
of licensing, factory construction, and offers other benefits such as tax
facilities obtained from Special Economic Zones," he said.

operating in the electronics sector, Hiron's type of industry is one of the
main activities targeted by the Kendal Special Economic Zone. By being in the
