According to sources, Indonesian Textile Association (API) in cooperation with Central and Regional Administrations are on the verge of setting up a Textile city at Majalengka, located in West Java.
Within a period of three year and a investment of Rp1.7 trillion (US$190 million), the assignment is to be completed, for which a comprehensive and viable study is carried on.
Addressing the media, Ansari Bukhari, Director General of textiles and textile products, Metal, Machine, Textile and Multifarious Industries, said that Majalengka would be Indonesia’s first industrial hub with such a project.
Due to recurring flood in Bandung, Capital of West Java, various textile factories including the recent setups would be moving to Majalengka.
