JAKARTA (JP): Chemicals producer Servo Delden BV of the Netherlands has completed the construction of its manufacturing plant in Bekasi, West Java, and plans to make it a supplying base for the domestic and regional market.

The company's Indonesian unit, PT Servo Indonesia, president, Paul Van Der Velden, said during a ceremony to dedicate the plant last Thursday: "This is a suitable opportunity to declare that there is at least one international company from the Netherlands which is still convinced about Indonesia's economic potential for the future."

The new plant occupies a 6,000-square-meter plot in the Cikarang industrial complex.
