Indonesia to Hannover Fair

JAKARTA (JP): At least seven Indonesian companies will take
part in the Hannover Fair '98 from April 20 to April 25, the
National Agency for Export Development (NAFED) said yesterday.

The agency's head of the export promotion center, Sakri
Widiyanto, said six of the seven Indonesian companies would
occupy a 54-square-meter Indonesian pavilion.

PT United Tractor would have its own stand to exhibit its
products, mainly heavy equipment.

Other Indonesian products to be displayed include industrial
components, vessels, airport equipment, lighting and kitchenware.

Sakri said the Indonesian companies would seek buyers or
business partners.

He said the participation of Indonesian companies was made
possible partly by technical aid from the German government.

Approximately 7,300 companies from 70 countries will take part
in the fair, which is expected to attract over 330,000 visitors
from 100 countries. Three thousand three hundred of the companies
come from outside Germany. (gis)
