LG Electronics Indonesia (LGEI) plans to increase its production capacity by 80 percent for refrigerators from 200,000 units to 360,000 units in 2004. This target is set to fulfil foreign demand for the product. LGEIN will also increase domestic production capacity to anticipate increasing demands during the high seasons (fasting month and Lebaran Islamic holiday). LGEIN also plans to try to implement different strategies in increasing production volume and reach target sales due to stable value of Rupiah to US Dollars. LGEIN will increase export transactions while the value of Rupiah is considerably low. Refrigerators manufactured by LGEIN will also be marketed Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam.
