Jakarta. SLP Surya Ticon Internusa, a joint venture between local developer Surya Semesta Internusa and Japan's Mitsui and Thailand's Ticon Industrial Connection, plans to begin operations on the second phase of its ready-to-use warehouse and factory estate in July, according to a recent statement.
The company's facility, located within the Suryacipta Technopark industrial estate in Karawang, is set to offer 12 units with a total area of 28 thousand square meters in the second phase, Surya Semesta Internusa said in a listing on the local stock exchange on Monday.
