- New multi-purpose facility boosts production capacity
to tap into growth in Asia for Clariant - First Production facilities under Functional Minerals Business Unit
to be built inside
Indonesia's first fully integrated industrial estate
- JIIPE in Surabaya
a world leader in specialty chemicals,
announces today that it has acquired the land
in the JIIPE (Java Integrated Industrial & Port Estate Gresik)
located in Surabaya, Indonesia
to build a new strategic site that will serve
the growing production needs of different Business Units
from Clariant's Southeast Asia and Pacific region.
Conveniently located in Gresik,
24km from the capital city of East Java - Surabaya,
JIIPE is the first fully integrated industrial estate
established in Indonesia with its deep sea port and
proximity to Juanda International Airport,
in addition to direct access to toll roads
connecting to Surabaya and major cities in East Java.
With East Java fast becoming
one of the most important chemical industry hubs in Indonesia,
the JIIPE has good logistic connections
with container and bulk port facilities
for efficient local and international deliveries
to other islands and overseas.
The first facility of Clariant to be established
in the fully integrated industrial park
will be a new bleaching earth plant
for the Business Unit of Functional Minerals, which is
a leading provider of specialty products
based on Bentonite to enhance
a wide range of products and processes in various industries
from food to foundry.
With the good infrastructure setup of the JIIPE,
other Business Units of Clariant may follow
to get established at the park
to form a multi-purpose industrial site.
