KIW Unveils Innovation for Industrial Estates Following Integration into Danareksa
PT Kawasan Industri Wijayakusuma (KIW) is accelerating the integration of business ecosystems and collaboration between industrial estates under the PT Danareksa (Persero) holding company to enhance national investment competitiveness. This strategic move was emphasised during the company’s 38th anniversary celebrations on 7 October 2026.
KIW President Director Rezza Arief Budy Artha emphasised that the presence of the holding company is driving the acceleration of business integration between estates. “We cannot afford to fall behind; that is the first point. Secondly, the variety of existing industrial estates will make us an attractive option for potential investors,” he stated on Saturday (19/9/2026).
Rezza explained that the diverse characteristics of industrial estates in Indonesia provide a collective advantage that strengthens bargaining power against other nations. Investors can select locations based on operational needs, such as proximity to ports, planned dry port developments, or electricity supplies with capacities of hundreds of megawatts. Additionally, the Semarang region and its surroundings offer an abundant labour force with competitive wages.
“The orientation is no longer limited to the context of Central Java or Semarang. This is precisely why the holding company was formed; the direction is to unite our resources and share them with one another,” said Rezza.
From an operational perspective, KIW is focusing on increasing supply chain integration between tenants to reduce manufacturing costs. KIW Director of Development and Operations, Sugeng Riyanto, revealed that the integration of raw materials between factories within the estate creates high production efficiency.
“The hope is that if Tenant 1 produces Product A, and Tenant 2 requires that specific raw material, the ecosystem will be established. We want this to grow together with efficient costs for tenants, which will benefit both existing and new tenants because the ecosystem is already present within the estate,” explained Sugeng.
Sugeng added that investment realisation in KIW is currently dominated by Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) at 60% and Domestic Direct Investment (DDI) at 40%. Foreign investors have dominated all new tenant entries over the past two years.
Marking its 38th anniversary, KIW is also continuing its expansion. The state-owned industrial estate has prepared an expansion of Ready-to-Use Factory Buildings (BPSP) to complement the existing 61,940 m² of BPSP and 250 hectares of ready-to-build land.
“We are planning additional Ready-to-Use Factory Buildings (BPSP), as these are highly sought after by potential investors entering KIW,” said Sugeng.
In addition to business strengthening, KIW maintains sustainability through social contributions to the surrounding communities. PT KIW (Persero) Director of Finance and Risk Management, Yogi Putra Wijaya, emphasised that business growth must provide environmental added value.
“For KIW, corporate sustainability is not only about achieving business performance but also about how the company can provide added value to society and the environment. Activities such as affordable basic food supplies, free health checks, and blood donations are tangible forms of our commitment to bringing benefits to the local community,” explained Yogi.
