In 2021, the government has designated four industrial sectors as priorities for the Industrial Revolution 4.0. The four sectors are the food and beverage sector, the textile and clothing sector, the automotive sector and the biochemical sector as well as the electronics sector.
The company's future prospects will go hand in hand with the growth of the aforementioned sectors. The packaging industry, which is the Company's product, will play an important role in these sectors. This is because packaged products will become a product's competitiveness, especially for products that are directly consumed by the public (consumer goods) and retail products. (LM)
