Minister of Investment and Downstream/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) Rosan Perkasa Roeslani revealed that Indonesia is trusted to become the center for production and export of high-tech products. This was demonstrated by the inauguration of Dongsung Chemical, a chemical company from South Korea (Korsel) that produces polyurethane (PU) in Karawang, West Java, on Wednesday (30/04/2025). Rosan, who participated in the inauguration ceremony for the factory's operations, conveyed the importance of this investment as a sign that Indonesia remains an attractive investment destination, even for companies with high-tech products. This factory is the largest production facility owned by the company, even exceeding the production capacity in its home country.
Dongsung Chemical products are used in various sectors, such as the automotive industry (seats, headrests, interior coatings), footwear (shoe soles and adhesives), household goods (mattresses, sofas, waterproof coatings), and manufacturing and construction (sealants, adhesives, surface protectors). "The presence of this factory once again proves that Indonesia is not only an investment destination that is still attractive to investors, but is also trusted to be a center for the production and export of high-tech products. This investment will create jobs and strengthen Indonesia's position in the global supply chain," said Rosan, "This new factory in Indonesia is the best PU system production base in Southeast Asia, functioning as a global strategic hub." said Dongsung Chemical Chairman Baek Jeong-ho. During that period, the value of South Korean investment reached USD 683.29 million spread across various sectors. This trend reflects the consistent interest and optimism of South Korean investors towards investment opportunities in Indonesia.
