IDX said in a statement: “Regarding the uncertainty about the company’s business continuity, IDX has temporarily suspended trading in PRAS shares on all markets.”
The company has a plant in Sidoarjo, East Java with capacity for 100,000 alloy wheels per month and has been affected by a sharp drop in demand in Europe which accounts for most output.
PARS aftermarket wheels, ranging between 13 and 24 inches in diameter, are sold under the Panther, Ballistic, Akuza, Sothis, Devino, Incubus and Cratus brands.
Around 95% is exported primarily to Germany, Scandinavia, Japan, Australia and the US.
