The decision to reactivate the factory in Indonesia was immediately announced by Southeast Asia GM officials. They assessed the return of the existence of GM in Indonesia to respond to high demand for new cars whose markets were always dominated by Japanese producers, as well as the desire to make Indonesia export bases for GM in Southeast Asia.
In Indonesia, GM operations and marketing have been held by PT General Motors Autoworld Indonesia as a single agent for GM brands.

Southeast Asia GM President Martin Apfel explained that the strong reason for the reactivation of the GM factory in Indonesia is that Indonesian macroeconomic conditions are very good, while economic growth over the past few years remains stable.
At the same time, with a per capita income of people of US $ 3,005 per year, this condition is expected to encourage the growth of the middle-class population that has the power of car purchases to 60 million people in the
next 5 years.
Such investments, he continued, will be used to reopen the GM assembly plant in Pondok Ungu, Bekasi, West Java, especially to produce a series of types of multipurpose vehicles (MPV vehicles) for the needs of Southeast Asian markets in 2013.
