This strategic move forms part of the Company’s efforts to enhance the competitiveness of Indonesian industries, support export growth, promote global standards harmonization, and advance sustainable business practices.

As a state-owned enterprise operating in the TIC sector, SUCOFINDO plays an important role in supporting government regulations, ensuring industrial compliance, and strengthening Indonesia’s national quality infrastructure. The collaboration is also expected to facilitate trade flows between Indonesia and Japan while increasing international recognition of Indonesia’s TIC services.
