Chinese automaker Chery Group is planning to build its own factory in Indonesia to produce its sub-brands Jaecoo and Lepas. Currently, Chery's assembly operations in Indonesia rely on PT Handal Indonesia Motor (HIM)'s factory in Bekasi, West Java. However, with the rapid growth in demand for Chery and its sub-brand vehicles, the existing production capacity can no longer meet the needs.
Chery's Indonesia marketing head revealed that the combined monthly sales of Chery and Jaecoo brands have exceeded 2,000 units, with a 2025 target of over 3,000 units per month. To cope with the growing consumer demand and further improve localized production layout, Chery decided to invest in building its own factory. In the future, this factory will also be used to produce Lepas brand models. Although the specific site and capacity have not been announced, the company emphasized that building its own factory will help optimize the supply chain and ensure stable product supply.
Data shows that from January to August 2025, Chery's production volume at the HIM factory surged 189.3% year-on-year to 15,643 units, far exceeding the 5,407 units in the same period of 2024. In addition, the HIM factory also assembles other Chinese auto brands including Neta, Geely, BAIC, Jetour, and XPeng. Chery's move into Indonesia not only underscores its commitment to the Indonesian market but also reflects the continued expansion of Chinese auto brands in the Southeast Asian market.
