Samsung begins production of smartphones in Indonesia
Reports from August last year initially mentioned that Samsung was looking to open a manufacturing unit in Indonesia. A new report has now confirmed this and even goes onto say that the company has actually begun production in this unit.
This makes sense given that the company is looking to increase production of its flagship offerings, the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge. The unit is located in Cikarang, an industrial town near Jakarta, the country’s capital. It is said that Samsung expects to produce 1.5 million smartphones from this unit every month, which should help greatly in keeping up with the demand for its new devices.
Samsung’s phones are manufactured in China, South Korea as well as Vietnam and the addition of Indonesia will be welcomed by the company. The company hasn’t officially released a statement on this, but we’re bound to believe that production started in this unit earlier this year.
