PT Hankook Tire Indonesia (Hankook) is strengthening its support for educational infrastructure in Bekasi Regency, West Java, by distributing 2ability 250 sets of furniture to five primary schools. This support targets schools recommended by the Bekasi Regency Government based on their specific learning facility requirements.
The five recipient schools are SDN 2 Cicau, SDN Pasirtanjung 1, SDN Hegarmukti 3, SDN Sukamanah 4, and SDN Kalijaya 5. The distributed furniture consists of desks and chairs designed to support teaching and learning activities.
The symbolic handover took place at SDN Pasirtanjung 1, attended by the headteachers of the five recipient schools. The provision of these facilities aims to improve infrastructure and enhance the comfort of both students and educators during learning activities.

In addition to educational facilities, Hankook’s support in Bekasi Regency includes public street lighting (PJU). To date, the company has distributed 60 LED lamp units to be installed at various locations based on local government recommendations.
Street lighting has been placed in Pasirtanjung Village, which serves as an alternative route for Hankook employees. Lighting has also been installed around Hegarmukti Village, which is being developed as a potential tourism area.
Further support targets access to clean water. According to data from the Bekasi Regency Government provided by the company, clean water service coverage in 2024 reached approximately 40 per cent and is targeted to increase to 60 per cent by 2027.
