Manufacturing giant Foxconn Technology Group is investing US$1 billion to build factories in Indonesia, in the company’s latest step to address a major handset market in Asia. Foxconn plans to make the investment over a three to five year period, and has signed a letter of intent with the government of Indonesia, the company said Saturday. The Taiwanese manufacturer has already sent a team to Indonesia’s capital to plan the factories. In about three months, the company will release a detailed proposal to the nation’s authorities. Foxconn has been in talks with Indonesian officials to build the manufacturing facilities since 2012. But unlike its other factories in China that build products for international markets, these new facilities would assemble products for local Indonesian consumers.
