Located in Gresik, East Java, the JIIPE Special Economic Zone (SEZ) has emerged as a focal point for global industrial stakeholders, especially from China. Recognized by the Indonesian government as the "Best Industrial SEZ," JIIPE offers an exceptionally favorable investment environment, equipped with modern infrastructure, comprehensive public facilities, and attractive investment incentives. The establishment of major enterprises such as Hailiang Group, Sichuan Hebang, Xinyi Glass, and Xinyi Solar has further solidified JIIPE's position as the premier choice for international businesses seeking to expand their operations in Indonesia.
In its mutually supportive industrial ecosystem, JIIPE not only enhances production efficiency but also maximizes resource value through downstream processing, creating a fully integrated business environment from upstream to downstream. This article highlights how these enterprises contribute to JIIPE's ecosystem and invites more Chinese investors to participate in Indonesia's comprehensive industrial development.
Hailiang Group: Optimizing JIIPE’s Copper Processing Value Chain
As one of China’s largest metal companies, Hailiang Group plays a significant role in supporting Indonesia’s downstream copper processing policy. Hailiang’s copper processing facility at JIIPE has direct access to raw materials supplied by PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI) within the estate. This strategic collaboration allows Freeport’s cathode copper to be further processed by Hailiang into copper foil and other value-added products. The close proximity of Hailiang and Freeport creates an efficient supply chain, significantly reducing transportation costs and production times. This model not only ensures product quality but also boosts production efficiency. Consequently, Hailiang plays a key role in Indonesia’s efforts to increase the added value of its copper resources, while also facilitating technology transfer and creating local job opportunities, aligning with the Indonesian government’s policy goals.
Sichuan Hebang: Strengthening JIIPE’s Chemical Industry Ecosystem
Beyond the metal industry, JIIPE also houses major chemical companies, such as Sichuan Hebang from China. Sichuan Hebang specializes in producing chemical products like sodium carbonate and sodium chloride, which are widely used across industries such as textiles, paper, glass, and water treatment, making it an essential part of JIIPE’s industrial ecosystem.
Sichuan Hebang leverages JIIPE’s stable supply of electricity, water resources, and natural gas to ensure efficient production processes. The presence of Sichuan Hebang further enhances JIIPE’s comprehensive industrial solution by providing key raw materials to companies requiring chemicals, thereby reinforcing JIIPE’s position as a multifunctional industrial zone achieving cross-sector synergies.
Xinyi Glass and Xinyi Solar: Leading the Glass and Renewable Energy Industries
Xinyi Glass and Xinyi Solar are two additional Chinese giants strengthening JIIPE’s manufacturing and renewable energy sectors. Xinyi Glass focuses on producing high-quality glass widely used in automotive, construction, and electronics industries. The glass products manufactured at JIIPE meet the demands of both domestic and export markets.
Meanwhile, Xinyi Solar specializes in producing solar panels and actively contributes to the global transition to clean energy. As a leading solar panel manufacturer, Xinyi Solar provides renewable energy solutions for local and international markets, helping Indonesia achieve its decarbonization goals. The inclusion of Xinyi Solar brings sustainable development and clean energy solutions to JIIPE’s industrial ecosystem.
JIIPE’s Infrastructure and Public Facilities: Realizing an Integrated Supply Chain
As a fully integrated industrial park, JIIPE provides infrastructure and logistics systems to companies like Hailiang, Sichuan Hebang, Xinyi Glass, and Xinyi Solar. JIIPE’s deep-sea port, located just a few kilometers from the industrial zone, has direct access to international trade routes, greatly simplifying the process of distributing products to global markets. This port facility significantly reduces logistics costs, shortens transportation times, and optimizes the supply chain.
In addition, JIIPE is equipped with reliable supplies of electricity, water resources, and natural gas, making it ideal for energy-intensive industries and production processes requiring large amounts of raw materials. The complete infrastructure allows businesses within the zone to focus on their core production activities without worrying about supply limitations.
Investment Incentives and Ease of Doing Business for Investors
One of JIIPE’s key advantages is the full support of the Indonesian government, which offers a range of fiscal and non-fiscal incentives to businesses operating within the zone. As a designated Special Economic Zone (SEZ), companies in JIIPE enjoy tax exemptions, streamlined import processes for raw materials, and one-stop licensing services. These incentives are particularly attractive to Chinese businesses seeking competitive operational costs while expanding into Southeast Asia.
An Invitation to Global & Domestic Investors
With Hailiang Group, Sichuan Hebang, Xinyi Glass, and Xinyi Solar now established at JIIPE, Chinese investors have successful examples of why JIIPE is the ideal base for their operations. Comprehensive infrastructure, abundant public utilities, and government-supported investment incentives make JIIPE an ideal location for companies to expand their businesses and fully harness Indonesia’s vast development potential.
JIIPE’s integrated ecosystem delivers cross-industry synergies, providing an excellent industrial environment for companies focused on downstream processing, renewable energy, and chemical industries. For investors ready to be part of Indonesia’s fast-growing economy, JIIPE offers everything needed for success and a sustainable business future.
