Nissan Motor Co. halted operations six months ago at one of its two assembly plants in Indonesia but still hasn’t directly acknowledged it, the Bangkok Post says.
The factory, which is located 65 miles east of Jakarta, stopped making Nissan brand cars in February, according to the Assn. of Indonesian Automotive Industries.
Nissan-branded vehicle production plunged 70% to 3,500 units at the facility last year, the Post says. The company’s second plant, which is co-located with the first, makes Nissan’s entry-level Datsun brand cars. The newspaper says demand for that factory’s output plummeted 72% to 2,600 units last year.
Isao Sekiguchi, who heads Nissan operations in Indonesia, says only that the company has undertaken “production optimization and restructuring of operations.”
Nissan launched a global downsizing plan in July to eliminate 25,000 jobs, cut capacity by 600,000 units and trim output at 14 assembly plants worldwide. The cuts include more than 800 job cuts in Indonesia by next March.
