Who is the Owner of Sanken Company That Will Close in June 2025? Here is Their Profile

Kapanlagi.com - PT Sanken Indonesia, a 100% Japanese foreign investment company (PMA) known for producing electronic components such as SMPS (switch mode power supply) and transformers, will cease all production activities at its Cikarang factory in June 2025.

This surprising decision was made at the direct request of the parent company in Japan, which plans to relocate its production base back to its home country and focus on semiconductor development. The Sanken factory in Cikarang has experienced a significant decline in production utility, which dropped to only 14% in 2024.

1. History

The electronics industry in Indonesia is experiencing an extraordinary surge, with many local companies daring to innovate and compete in the market. One shining star is Sanken, a brand that has been a loyal companion to the Indonesian people since 1995.

Not only acting as an importer, Sanken now proudly owns its own production facility, making it one of the notable local electronics manufacturers.

Seeing the high demand, Sanken has transformed by building factories and introducing a variety of quality household products, ranging from washing machines to solar water heaters, all with a commitment to providing the best innovations for consumers.

2. Owner of Sanken

Sanken, a local electronics company that has established its presence in Indonesia since 1995, holds a mystery behind the figure of its owner, which remains rarely revealed to this day.

Although the founder's name is not widely highlighted, Sanken is managed by a professional management team led by Esmond H. Tirtajasa, the General Manager who often shares insights in various media interviews about the company's strategies and innovations in the digital era.

With a solid business model, Sanken operates through a wide distribution network and its own production facilities, establishing itself as an electronics brand that has deeply rooted in the Indonesian market for over two decades.

3. Closure Not Due to Internal Issues

The closure of the Sanken factory in Cikarang is not the result of internal company issues in Indonesia, but rather a decision made by the parent company in Japan.

The request from the parent company prompted the cessation of production lines in Indonesia, which will be relocated to Japan to focus on semiconductor manufacturing.

It should be noted that the closed Sanken factory actually produced electronic components, not finished goods for household needs as had been circulated in various sources.

4. Impact of Factory Closure

Although details regarding the impact of the factory closure on employees remain unclear, it is hoped that the company will adhere to existing standard operating procedures (SOP) during the closure process.

The closure of the Sanken factory in Cikarang will undoubtedly shake the local economy in the MM2100 industrial area, considering that this factory has been one of the foreign investments that has been operating for quite a long time and has made significant contributions to the economic dynamics in the surrounding area.
