Joint venture and expansion
In October 2014, MIKO PAC NV – the biggest food and beverages packaging company in Belgium – became the 50% stakeholder of Innoware Indonesia, which resulted in considerable business growth for Innoware in the Indonesian market. Innoware Indonesia will move to a new 31,000 m² factory in Tangerang at the end of 2016. According to Mr. Cirellus Hartono, because of the expansion of the company’s production, 8 more injection molding IML system (with clamping forces from 160 to 600 tons) will be purchased.
With regard to the very good business relations and the excellent after sales service that WITTMANN BATTENFELD is known for, the company is confident that they can serve Innoware Indonesia well in carrying out this upcoming project.
