A dispute between cosmetics manufacturer PT Mandom Indonesia and PT Iwatani Industrial Gas Indonesia (IIGI), a contractor assigned to fix gas facilities at the cosmetics company's factory, continues after a fire incident that killed 28 on July 10 this year.
The Jakarta Police has named two suspects from IIGI behind the fatal blaze at the Mandom factory in Bekasi, West Java. The gas contractors argue that the two people accused, its junior supervisor and Japanese general manager, are innocent of any wrong doing.
IIGI put out a press release on Saturday quoting a Japanese expert who said it was not possible that the fire incident was caused by a leak of flexible tube.
Jakarta Police had earlier said that Mandom assigned IIGI to install eight new flexible tubes in the aerosol production area. The publicly listed company, which moved its cosmetic production to the Bekasi factory in April, said that it could no longer use its existing flexible tubes from the previous factory in Sunter, North Jakarta, because the tubes' had already expired.
