Andry did not elaborate on the specific factory in question, but his suspicions were that it focused on Nissan’s production house in Indonesia.
Previously it was known that Indomobil, through its subsidiary, National Assemblers (NA), had acquired 99.9 percent of the shares in Nissan Motor Indonesia (NMI).This step puts NA in full control of the Nissan factory in Purwakarta, West Java.

The location of the former Nissan factory is understood to be close to NA’s assembly house which has been operating and producing GAC Aion cars in Indonesia since June 2025. The existence of the new factory will certainly expand their production capacity in the country.
“The capacity of the newly acquired factory can be up to 100 thousand cars per year,” he said.
According to Andry, Indomobil’s move to invest in a factory in Indonesia is the right decision because they need to boost production to anticipate a surge in demand from various brands including Aion.
Indomobil manages a number of passenger and commercial car brands in Indonesia, such as Maxus, JAC Motors, GWM, Changan, Jeep, Mercedes-Benz, GAC Aion, Citroen, Land Rover, Jaguar, Kia, Suzuki, Nissan, Volvo, Hino, Volkswagen, and most recently Hongqi.
