JAKARTA : PT Mitsubishi Motors Krama Yudha Indonesia's (MMKI) production hub in Indonesia has reached a cumulative total production of one million vehicles.
A ceremony was recently held at the site to celebrate this achievement.
The ceremony was attended by Vice Minister of Industry Faisol Riza from the Indonesian government, Japan ambassador Yasushi Masaki, and Mitsubishi Motors president and CEO Takao Kato.
"Thanks to the support of Indonesia's government, our suppliers, and our partner companies, our Indonesian production hub has become a major pillar of our company's business," said Kato.
