The investor, Chinese textile company PT Xinhai Knitting, will collaborate with Swedish fast-fashion brand H&M to build a new textile factory covering 8 hectares in Brebes Regency. The investment amounts to US$40 million, equivalent to approximately IDR 651.8 billion. Brebes Regency is not only a martin printing center in the ASEAN region but also has abundant labor resources and a warm, friendly local population. These factors prompted the company to choose this location for investment. The factory will become a world-class knitwear production base, primarily supplying knitted garments to H&M. Production is planned to begin in July 2026. Currently, PT Xinhai Knitting has an annual production capacity of 25 million pieces. This factory will be the company's new production hub in Southeast Asia, complementing its existing factories in Guangdong (China) and Yangon (Myanmar). Adhering to a green development concept, the factory will be equipped with a solar power generation system, rainwater harvesting system, and wastewater reuse systems to achieve water resource recycling, and will use biomass fuel to reduce carbon emissions. All wastewater and exhaust gas emissions from the factory will comply with Indonesian national standards to protect the natural environment and the environmental quality of Java Island. Comprehensive training will be provided to employees, covering professional skills, leadership, and management capabilities. The factory is expected to employ up to 8,000 workers, contributing to local economic and social development. The Deputy Minister of Industry attended the groundbreaking ceremony and stated that this factory will be integrated into H&M's global supply chain. Its high standards of sustainable development align with the direction of national industrial policy. The government will continue to promote a favorable business environment and encourage cooperation among investors, local governments, and vocational education institutions.
