Gunanusa will build own cranes

JAKARTA (JP): PT Gunanusa Utama Fabricators, a private
engineering manufacturing company, will build cranes for
container handling under the license of the Pacific Coast
Engineering Company (Paceco) of the United States.

Gunanusa President Iman Taufik told reporters after the
signing of the licensing agreement between the two companies here
yesterday that Gunanusa will have the right to use the brand name
Gunanusa. They will build the Quayside Gantry Portainer, and the
Transtainer Yard and Shipstainer Vessel cranes under the
supervision of Paceco.

The cranes will be used for handling container cargo, which is
in common use throughout Indonesia.

Iman said the company has injected funds amounting to Rp 3
billion (US$1.39 million) for the expansion of its factory at
Bojonegara, Cilegon, West Java and for the procurement of
equipment.

He said Gunanusa has to pay royalties to Paceco for the
licensing, amounting to four percent of its sales.

Iman said Indonesia needs about 35 more cranes in the next
five years and Gunanusa has produced 16 cranes for domestic and
international markets so far.

He said there are three Indonesian companies specializing in
crane construction including Gunanusa. However, Gunanusa is the
only company to have an international license.(02)
