span style="line-height: 1.6em;">Japan-based electronics company Sharp officially opened on Wednesday morning an LED TV factory in Indonesia, located in the Karawang International Industrial City in West Java.
Industry Ministry Saleh Husin and Sharp Indonesia president director Fumihiro Irie attended the inauguration of the factory, accompanied by a number of local officials.
The Rp 55 billion (US$4.1 million) factory will employ 1,856 workers, with a capacity of about 1 million TV units per year.
Saleh said the government aimed to further develop the country's electronics industry as a vital part of the global electronic products supply chain.
Irie said despite the economic slowdown, Sharp Indonesia sought to provide quality products for its Indonesian customers.
"With the new factory, we will continue to locally produce quality products for our customers," Irie said in his speech. (dmr)
