JINGDONG Industrials and Kawan Lama Group Hold In-Depth Talks on Building Indonesia's Industrial Supply Chain
BEIJING, Sept. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- JINGDONG Industrials, a subsidiary of JD.com, and Indonesia's Kawan Lama Group, held productive discussions in Beijing last week to advance Indonesia's supply chain infrastructure through digital and intelligent solutions, aligning with Southeast Asia's industrialization trends.
By combining JINGDONG Industrials' expertise in digital supply chain technology with Kawan Lama Group's extensive local network, the shared vision aims to create a leading one-stop industrial product supply and digital platform for Indonesia and across Southeast Asia. Both companies underlined their focus on modernizing supply chain management, technology integration, and market expansion to drive efficiency and innovation.
As ASEAN's largest economy, Indonesia's rich resources and growing market make it a prime destination for Chinese investment. In 2024, China's direct investment in Indonesia reached USD 8.1 billion, ranking among the top three sources of foreign investment for the ninth consecutive year. Notably, investments are shifting toward secondary industries, including metal processing, mining, transportation, warehousing, telecommunications, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and industrial parks.
With Chinese manufacturers expanding globally, the need for advanced robust supply chain services is critical. JINGDONG Industrials provides comprehensive digital solutions to address such issues by reducing costs and ensuring compliance. The company manages a portfolio of 57.1 million SKUs across nearly 100 core categories, including tens of millions of standardized products in general materials, MRO (maintenance, repair and operations), BOM (bills of materials), and spare parts. The company connects over 120,000 manufacturers and brands, serving more than 10,000 enterprises, including 50% of China's Fortune 500 and Fortune Global 500 companies operating within China.
A notable example of JINGDONG Industrials' impact is its partnership with Green Eco-Manufacture (GEM) at Indonesia's Qingmeibang Park. By enabling digitalized demand submission and direct ordering processes, JINGDONG Industrials improved GEM's procurement efficiency by 30% and reduced costs for certain products by 18%.
On December 10, 2024, JINGDONG Industrials hosted a Partner Conference in Jakarta, focusing on key categories like PPE, industrial tools, packaging, and mechanical parts. The event drew 75 international brands, with companies such as Henkel, Fluke, Sinopec, SATA, and ZEBRA signing cooperation agreements to leverage JD.com's supply chain expertise. These partnerships aim to build efficient, compliant, and cost-effective supply chains for Indonesian businesses and Chinese enterprises operating in the local market.
