Indonesia to source textile machinery from: API

In order to maintain competitiveness of the country’s textile and textile products in the global market, the Indonesian Textile Association (API) has urged local players to regularly upgrade their production facilities. Most textile makers in the country rely on old machineries and are reluctant to invest more in the backdrop of weakening global demand, says API chairman, Ade Sudrajat.

Sudrajat has also asked the government to facilitate collaboration between local businesses and textile machinery manufacturers in India, deemed as one of leading nations in the industry, to deal with the issue. Indonesia and India can deepen their cooperation by providing credit facilities for the purchase of textile machinery. Indonesian textile exports have failed to make significant progress over the last five years partly due to declining orders from the country’s main trading partners, including Japan and the US. Data shows textile exports have remained stagnant at around $13 billion since 2011. Another reason to choose India as a trading partner, was because the price of textile machinery was as cheap as China-made ones.
