The service will make use of Sojitz’s expertise and experience as a general trading company to provide support for the complex and onerous applications and other procedures required of firms establishing business in Indonesia including corporate establishment, office brokering, plant construction, facility procurement and installation, and obtaining the various licenses and approvals.

Sojitz expects to provide support to about 30 companies annually through its new service.
