Leading Indonesian furniture manufacturer, Chitose Internasional Tbk, showcases its commanding market position in taking upon the role of primary supplier of store displays and fixtures for UNIQLO’s retail outlet branches in Indonesia. As the world’s fourth-largest fashion brand, UNIQLO has in recent years made a concerted effort to expand upon its presence in Southeast Asia’s largest economy and since mid-2013 has already opened eight stores in the country. Through its cooperation with well-known Japanese conglomerate Okamura Corporation (See Chitose Internasional Tbk Signs Joint Venture Agreement with Okamura Corporation), Chitose has provided these UNIQLO outlets with high-quality displays and will continue to serve as a supplier in upcoming expansion plans for the retail brand. As confirmed by Mr Tadashi Yanai as CEO of Fast Retailing – UNIQLO’s Japan-based parent company – UNIQLO intends to open a total of 10 outlets in the country with a further two stores to commence construction later this year.
Chitose Internasional’s success in meeting the needs of prominent clients such as UNIQLO can in part be attributed to its commitment to actively develop advanced manufacturing capabilities and improve upon its internal operations through partnerships with esteemed international firms such as Okamura Corporation. Through joint ventures with experienced overseas entities, Chitose has been able to expand upon its already extensive product portfolio and is now positioned to supply other mid to high-end retailers with store displays that adhere to meticulous quality control requirements and are in keeping with contemporary interior design trends.
Building upon this experience, Chitose has also recently catered to the needs of AEON Group in providing displays and fixtures for a new mall in Tangerang, West Java. Continuous engagement with renowned international companies will support Chitose as the company moves forward with plans to strengthen its market presence in Indonesia as well as develop more innovative products offering unparalleled quality and modern design.
