Siemens opens new division

JAKARTA (JP): PT Siemens Indonesia, a supplier in the energy
and communication industry, has opened a new business division to
tap a growing demand for healthcare equipment in the country, the
company's senior executive said here on Friday.

Speaking at a press conference, the company director Osriman
Oesman said that the new division which began operation early
this week increased the number of the German company's business
divisions to 13.

The sale of the healthcare equipment was previously handled by
an authorized distributor, he said.

Osriman said that Siemens Indonesia, a unit of the Germany-
based Siemens Group, has also operated production facilities at
Pulo Mas, East Jakarta and in Cilegon, West Java, producing
switchgear panels and power plant components.

"We hope in the future we will also be able to produce some of
the healthcare equipment," he said. (07)
