Grundfos relocates plant

JAKARTA (JP): PT Grundfos Pompa, an Indonesian-Danish pump
manufacturing company, has relocated its plant from the Nusantara
bonded area near Tanjung Priok port to the Pulogadung industrial
estate in line with its new policy that emphasizes on the
domestic market.

The new plant in the Pulogadung area, which will be
inaugurated on Thursday, will market 75 percent of its water
pumps on the domestic market and the other 25 percent on the
export market.

The company said yesterday that the shift in its marketing
target was prompted by the sharp increase in Indonesia's demand
for submersible pumps.

The Grunfos group started production in Indonesia in 1989 with
an annual capacity of 19,000 pumps.(yns)
