GEDONG CIPTA SIGNS MOU WITH INDON FIRM ON PARTS SUPPLY TO PROTON
By Ahmad Fuad Yahya
JAKARTA, March 15 (Bernama) -- Gedong Cipta (M) Sdn Bhd and Indonesian firm, PT Cipta Saksama Indonesia (CSI), have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on the supply of motor vehicle parts for Proton cars.
Under the MOU, Gedong Cipta would act as agent for the import of CSI's thermostat pipes and exhaust system for use in Proton cars.
Gedong Cipta chairman, Abdul Aziz Hussain, said this was the first time an Indonesian company would supply the parts to Proton.
"The MOU allows them to appoint us as the agent to supply and market their products in Malaysia, mainly to Proton because Proton is the main buyer of exhaust parts for the cars," he said.
He said the first shipment of 600 thermostat pipes from CSI arrived last week and would be gradually increased to 12,000 units per month within the next few months.
Abdul Aziz said in the long term, Gedong Cipta planned to form a joint venture with CSI to set up its own factory in Malaysia to produce car parts.
CSI president director, Leo Kosasih, said the company was expected to meet the monthly supply of the thermostat pipes to Proton by May through mass production.
Thermostat pipe connects the car engine and the radiator, as part of the engine cooling system.
Kosasih said the CSI plant in Cakung, East Jakarta would be able to produce 500,000 thermostat pipes annually.
"It is also able to produce 60,000 exhaust systems per month.
"The two companies have, however, not finalised the number of exhaust systems to be produced for Proton," said Kosasih.
CSI, which has been in business for 40 years, produces thermostat pipes and exhaust systems for other car plants including Nissan, Honda, Mitsubishi Isuzu and Daihatsu.
