Jet sets sights on Indonesia

Sydney-based packaging printing specialist Jet Technologies has established a full-service branch in Jakarta, Indonesia, notching another milestone in its international expansion that started with a similar move to New Zealand in 2010.

Jet Technologies’ director, Jack Malki, said the company had been examining the potential of the Indonesian market for some time. He said the final decision to establish a full branch in the country was finalised after considerable research into a range of potential Asian markets.

“The sophistication of the Indonesian printing, labelling and packaging segments, given the country’s wide ranging FCMG manufacturing industry and the vast size of its market potential, swayed us heavily in our decision,” he said.

“Moreover, we were influenced by the presence of many of our competitors, both in the labelling and packaging area.”

Jet has appointed Arman Mampuk, formerly with Cyber, the Indonesian agents for Ryobi, as the office's sales manager. Yanuar Emilius has been appointed office manager, after a career spanning 11 years in Europe and Indonesia that has included a series of administrative responsibilities with Ferrostaal Indonesia.

“These two newly created positions further strengthen the support that Jet Technologies is able to offer our clients throughout the region,” Malki said.
