JAKARTA (JP): Food company PT Nestle Indonesia is developing a
high-tech regional distribution center in East Java in
anticipation of the fast growth of its product market in the
country.

The 18,000-square-meter modern warehouse on 6.5 hectares is
being built by PT Cardig Air and Wiley Indonesia, a branch of
Wiley Planning and Construction Consultants of Australia, the
company said in a statement.

Construction will be completed within one year, it added.

Nestle president director S.A. Issenmann said the warehouse
was the first of its kind in the country using the high
technology and would serve as a distribution center for finished
goods produced by its facilities in East Java.

Construction of the regional distribution center is of great
importance to the multinational company in anticipating the fast
growth of its products in Indonesia, he explained.

Nestle Indonesia, part of the world's largest food group,
entered the country in 1971, and now has five factories. (rei)
