Indonesia, South East Asia’s second largest automobile producer, is a production and export base for many global automakers.
Local demand for high-end automotive steel sheet is expected to grow as manufacturers expand capacity further, including through the construction of new plants.
The new continuous galvanising line will be JFE Steel’s third CGL for cars in Asia, following China and Thailand, where the company already operates CGLs.
JFE Steel also provides manufacturing technology for a CGL and related facilities operated by its partner JSW Steel in India.
