Jakarta. Sri Rejeki Isman, one of the nation’s leading garment manufacturers, posted strong profit growth last year on rising sales.

The Solo-based company said in a filing to the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) on Wednesday that net income had risen by 35 percent to Rp 309.6 billion ($27 million) from the year before.

Total sales grew 24.3 percent to Rp 5.72 trillion last year.

The company, commonly known as Sritex, suffered from a widening foreign exchange loss due to a sharp depreciation of the rupiah against the dollar. Its foreign exchange loss widened to Rp 121.7 billion last year, compared with Rp 19.4 billion a year earlier.

Strong demand has helped Sritex record rising sales in the domestic market. Its domestic sales surged 121 percent to Rp 1.62 trillion last year compared with the year before.

Global sales also skyrocketed as orders from other Asian and European countries grew 23 percent and 46 percent respectively.

Sales to the United States and countries in South America rose 4.32 percent last year, while sales to African countries grew by 88 percent. On the other hand, sales to the United Arab Emirates were halved last year.

Sritex manufactures and distributes garments to more than 30 countries around the world. The textile company has attracted big-name retailers including Zara, Uniqlo, H&M, Gymboree, and WalMart.

Sritex was established in 1996 by H.M. Lukminto and Iwan Lukminto as a traditional trading company in Solo, Central Java. The company now owns a 50-hectare garment plant comprising nine spinning plants, three weaving plants, three dyeing/printing plants, and seven garment plants in the city.

The rupiah, which was traded at 11,303 against the US dollar on Wednesday, depreciated by 26 percent against the greenback last year, making it the worst performing currency in the Asia-Pacific region.

Sritex, which made its trading debut last year, raised Rp 2.2 trillion from its initial public offering last June.

Shares of the company fell 2.71 percent to Rp 215 on the IDX on Wednesday, in line with a slight decline of the main stock gauge.

Sritex’s main competitor, Pan Brothers, also reported a 41 percent increase in net income to $10.6 million last year from the year before.

Its sales climbed 19 percent to $340 million.

Pan Brothers currently has 10 plants in various locations on Java island.

Indonesia military worries over Asia arms race, territorial tensions
By Kanupriya Kapoor and Jonathan Thatcher

JAKARTA Thu Apr 3, 2014 2:53am EDT

(Reuters) - Indonesia's military is concerned that a rebalancing of power in the Asia-Pacific is driving an arms race in the region and that increasingly tetchy territorial disputes could trigger conflict, its armed forces chief said.

In an interview with Reuters, military commander Moeldoko did not single out China for criticism, but his comments are the latest from regional officials that suggest there are growing fears over China's assertiveness and military modernization.

"We are definitely worried because there is a trend happening in the region right now and that is an arms race, between ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries themselves and between major powers," he said late on Wednesday.

According to IHS Jane's, a defense publisher, the Asia-Pacific region is the only part of the world to see military spending grow steadily since 2008.

China is believed to have more than quadrupled its military spending since 2000 and by 2015 is expected to be outspending Britain, France and Germany combined. Even with Chinese spending stripped out, the rest of the Asia-Pacific region is seen overtaking the whole of Western Europe by the same date.

Moeldoko said it was important that what he called a rebalancing of power in Asia as well as efforts by the United States to step up its military presence in the region did not create "provocations".

He also said the Indonesian military was constantly assessing the risk to the country's oil- and gas-rich Natuna Islands close to an area of the South China Sea claimed by Beijing but insisted that Jakarta remained neutral in the conflicting claims over sovereignty in the region.

"We always need to evaluate the forces that are deployed in and around the Natuna region. We have to consider any spillover that emerges which we will have to deal with," he said.

The Natuna Islands lie close to China's so-called nine-dash-line, which Beijing uses on its official maps to display its claim to 90 percent of the South China Sea. The Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan also claim parts of the potentially resource rich waters.

Indonesia has long played a neutral role and sought to mediate in the disputes, although it has openly criticized China's hard-nosed approach for inflaming regional tension.

China's Foreign Ministry issued a statement on Wednesday saying Beijing had no dispute with Jakarta over the Natuna Islands in response to some reports that a row might be brewing.

CRYSTAL CLEAR

That was a view backed by Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa.

"It must be made crystal clear that between Indonesia and China there are no outstanding or overlapping maritime territorial disputes," he told Reuters on Thursday.

However, Indonesia has been asking for clarification through the United Nations since 2010 of the legal basis for China's nine-dash line, a set of dashes on Chinese maps that stretch deep into the heart of maritime Southeast Asia.

Natalegawa said Indonesia had "inferred" from China that the line did not cross Indonesian territory.

The 56-year-old Moeldoko, named armed forces chief last August, went to Beijing in February for talks with China's military.

"We're not focused particularly on China's developments but we see there is a dispute in that region. And from that dispute we should anticipate or look at the future prospects in the region, and that is a part of our calculations.

"I explained (to my Chinese counterpart) that we are a sovereign country, we will protect our territory, and we will do whatever is necessary to protect our sovereignty. They understand that," he said.

Indonesia to deploy four Apache helicopters on Natuna Islands, begins pilot training
Ridzwan Rahmat, Singapore - IHS Jane's Navy International

Jakarta will deploy half its incoming fleet of Boeing AH-64E Apache attack helicopters on the Natuna Islands. The matter was revealed by Indonesian Army (TNI-AD) Chief of Staff General Budiman during his visit to an army base in Semarang, Central Java on 27 March.

Indonesia is currently awaiting the delivery of eight Apache attack helicopters purchased from the US in 2013 for USD500 million. Though the aircraft are scheduled to arrive in 2017, Gen Budiman indicated that TNI-AD has already begun pilot training.

With half the Apache fleet to be deployed on the Natuna Islands, the remaining four aircraft will be stationed at an undisclosed location in Jakarta.

The Natuna Islands sit on Indonesia's maritime borders with Brunei, Malaysia, and Vietnam at the southern tip of the South China Sea. Although Indonesia is not among the states disputing ownership of South China Sea islands, Beijing's 'nine-dotted-line' claim overlaps with Jakarta's push for its exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in the Natuna Islands region.

IHS Jane's reported on 28 February 2014 that the Indonesian Navy (TNI-AL) will deploy additional assets in waters off the Natuna Islands in Riau province as a pre-emptive measure against instability in the South China Sea.

18 meriam 155 mm buatan korsel tiba

Makassar (MI) : Kepala Staf Angkatan Darat Jenderal TNI Budiman menyatakan 18 unit atau satu batalyon meriam kaliber 155 mm asal Korea Selatan sudah tiba di Indonesia.

"Ke-18 unit atau satu batalyon meriam 155 mm asal Korea Selatan itu sudah datang. Rencananya, alutsista akan datang secara berangsur-angsur hingga September 2014," katanya setelah membuka Kejurnas Karate Piala Kasad di Gedung Celebes Convention Centre (CCC) Makassar, Jumat.

Lulusan terbaik AKABRI Darat 1978 itu menjelaskan TNI juga menjadwalkan untuk mengambil hasil riset terkait alutsista (alat utama sistem persenjataan) yang merupakan kerja sama TNI dan perguruan tinggi di Indonesia.

"Melalui kerja sama ini membuat Indonesia tidak lagi tergantung dengan negara lain dalam hal persenjataan," katanya.

Terkait hasil riset yang dilakukan tersebut, kata dia, akan diumumkan ke masyarakat luas.

"Senin nanti kita berencana mengambil hasil riset yang dilakukan tim kami bersama pihak perguruan tinggi, kemudian kami mengumumkan hasilnya," jelasnya.

Sebelumnya, Panglima TNI Jenderal TNI Moeldoko saat berkunjung ke Makassar pada beberapa waktu lalu menyatakan pihaknya sedang menjajaki kemungkikan penambahan armada kapal selam jenis Kilo Class asal Rusia demi memperkuat pertahanan perairan Indonesia.
"Saat ini, kami masih dalam penjajakan dan sedang dikalkulasi. Jika kapal selam kilo class ini bisa kita datangkan maka tentu luar biasa. Kapal selam ini memiliki kemampuan dalam menembakkan rudal yang sangat jauh," ujarnya.

Kapal selam buatan Rusia ini kabarnya memiliki keunggulan pada teknologi peluru kendalinya. Kapal selam dengan nama Kiloklav ini mampu menembak hingga 300-400 km dari subsurface hingga surface.
Selain kapal selam dari Rusia, TNI juga akan mendatangkan tiga kapal selam dari Korea Selatan. Kehadiran tiga kapal selam itu akan melengkapi kapal selam yang ada sebelumnya.

Saat ini, Indonesia dikabarkan hanya memiliki dua kapal selam, salah satunya berasal dari Jerman dengan tipe 209 class. Sementara yang lainnya juga berasal dari Korea dengan tipe hampir serupa dengan 209 class.
Kapal selam tersebut telah mengalami modify combat management system sehingga memiliki daya pukul yang lebih kuat.

Bukan itu saja, TNI juga masih menunggu kedatangan heli Apache dari Amerika. Heli jenis ini dikatakan hanya dimiliki beberapa negara, termasuk Amerika dan Singapura. Selain itu adapula tank Leopard yang dinilai masih salah satu yang terbaik.
Indonesia juga berencana mendatangkan peralatan penangkal serangan udara yang berasal dari Prancis dan Inggris.
Jenderal TNI Moeldoko juga memiliki keinginan tidak hanya mempunyai pesawat tempur Sukhoi SU-30, namun jenis terbaru Sukhoi SU-35.

Yes.. though we still a small to middle player in terms of international arm trading business.

We have many companies involved in military business. The biggest three are state owned companies (BUMN). They are PT. PAL, PT. PINDAD, and PT. DI.

PT. PAL specialize in ship building.

Hey it shows, it's of Daewoo of SK.

@katarabhumi Actually i meant full indigenous firms. Like they have their own design and manufacturing.

Makassar Class was a joint project with Daewoo/Daesun SK.. a learning project for PAL to be exact..
There are 4 ships all.. first 2 was built in Korea, the last 2 was built by PT. PAL in Indonesia with assistance from Daesun.
PT. PAL have years of experience in building merchant/tanker ships up to 50.000 DWT but lack the experience to build large size strategic military ship. The Makassar class project was the learning process for PT. PAL building large navy ship.

The new LPD 125 m ordered by Philippine is designed and will be manufactured by PT. PAL in its own shipyard in Surabaya, Indonesia.

PT. PAL's LPD design for Philippine Navy.

Another domestic shipbuilder, Lundin North Sea Boats came out with their own design and built a trimaran stealth missile ship named KRI Klewang, the first of its class.. but unfortunately the ship had an accident and was heavily burned before they handed it over to Indonesian Navy. Replacement ship is currently in process.

Overall, we are still in learning stage.. Right now, 3 of our biggest arms manufacturer (PINDAD, PAL, DI) are in joint development with (or taking assistance from) foreign companies that have the technology needed to build submarines, frigates, tanks, and fighter jets.. the aim is to learn as much as possible.. our hope is to be able to self provide highest tech military tools for our own armed forces in the future.

Habibie: Pesawat R80 Lebih Efisien dari Airbus dan Boeing

(Foto: Liputan6.com)

Liputan6.com, Jakarta Mantan Presiden ke-3 Republik Indonesia, BJ Habibie saat ini tengah mengembangkan pesawat N250 Next Generation atau yang dinamakan R80.

Melalui perusahaan yang didirikannya yaitu PT Regio Aviasi Industri (RAI) tengah mengembangkan prototype dan nantinya akan bekerjasama dengan PT Dirgantara Indonesia (Persero) dalam proses rancang bangunnya.

BJ Habibie menjelaskan pesawat dengan model baling-baling ini nantinya diklaim akan lebih cepat dan lebih efisien dalam penggunaan bahan bakar dibanding Airbus ataupun Boeing.

Hal itu dilandaskan dari berhasilnya Habibie merancang R80 ini dengan memiliki perbandingan antara angin yang dingin dihasilkan dari udara di body pesawat dengan angin yang dikeluarkan pada engine di belakang pesawat lebih tinggi (Bypass ratio).

"Saya menyampaikan bahwa Airbus atau Boeing itu bypass rationya 12, makin tinggi bypass ratio makin sedikit konsumsi bahan bakar dan lebih cepat, ini (R80) bypass rationya 40, kami perhitungkan pesawat terbang ini sasarannya lebih sedkit 30% (penggunaan bahan bakar)," ungkap Habibie di Gedung Bank Indonesia semalam yang ditulis, Rabu (2/4/2014).

Habibie menambahkan R80 ini dibangun tidak akan menggunakan dana APBN, melainkan PT RAI akan menjalin kerjasama dengan swasta.

R dalam nama pesawat tersebut diartikan sebagai Regional, pesawat tersebut adalah buatan anak bangsa dan difungsikan untuk penerbangan jarak-jarak pendek. Sementara untuk 80 berarti kapasitas kursi pessawat yang mampu menampung 80 penumpang.

"Ini saya dengan team dalam satu tahun lagi kami mulai potong, dan memeprsiapkan untuk supaya bisa dirancang bangun, tahun 2017 kita targetkan sudah mengudara," terang Habibie.

Seperti diketahui, meski pesawat ini masih dalam tahap perancangan namun sudah mengundang banyak peminat yang menyatakan siap akan menggunakannya. Salah satu maskapai yang siap membeli peawat R80 ini adalah Sriwijaya Air yang nanti akan digunakan untuk anak usahanya yaitu NAM Air.
