JAKARTA, Indonesia, November 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — YOFC Indonesia celebrates its 10th anniversary on November 13, highlighting a decade of partnership in Indonesia’s digital transformation. As the first fiber optic manufacturing plant in Southeast Asia and a cornerstone of YOFC’s international expansion, the Indonesian operations have grown from a pioneering project to a key enabler of digital infrastructure, economic growth and community development over the past decade.
Since its establishment in 2015, YOFC Indonesia has grown from an underdeveloped location to a modern, world-class fiber optic and cable manufacturing hub. The journey began with the launch of YOFI in Jakarta, followed by the establishment of PT Yangtze Optics Indonesia in Karawang in 2017 – a milestone that established a full value chain optical fiber and cable production system for YOFC in Indonesia. Having started cable manufacturing in 2018 and completed its second phase of capacity expansion in 2022, the factory now has fully automated production lines and a team of over 500 highly skilled local professionals, strengthening its position as a regional center of excellence in optical communications manufacturing.
As a key contributor to bridging the digital divide in Indonesia, YOFC Indonesia has played a vital role in developing the country’s information and communications infrastructure. To date, the company has deployed more than 28,000 kilometers of optical cables in more than 80 cities, covering Indonesia’s main islands and providing fiber optic broadband access to almost two million homes. By localizing production and transferring technology, YOFC has not only improved regional supply chain resilience, but also supported the advancement of Indonesia’s communications manufacturing and R&D capabilities.
The 10-year journey has also been defined by significant economic and social contributions. YOFC Indonesia has created over 1,000 direct jobs and, through partnerships with over 400 local suppliers, generated an additional 4,000 indirect employment opportunities. Beyond job creation, the company implemented a structured professional training and talent development program, equipping employees with specialized expertise in optical communications. This focus on talent localization aligns with YOFC’s global commitment to integrating with local cultures and building sustainable operations.
YOFC Executive Director and President Zhuang Dan said: “YOFC Indonesia’s 10th anniversary represents not only a milestone for the company, but also our long-term commitment to Indonesia’s progress. Guided by our global perspective and deep local engagement, we have grown with the community, expanding digital access, driving technological innovation, and building shared prosperity. This journey reflects YOFC’s core values of customer focus, innovation and corporate responsibility.
In line with its ESG commitments and adherence to the UN Global Compact, YOFC Indonesia has integrated sustainability principles into all its operations. From supporting national broadband initiatives to expanding vocational training and inclusive employment, the company’s actions align with Indonesia’s digital transformation agenda. Going forward, YOFC will continue to build on its localized production capabilities and technology leadership, strengthening its regional presence in Southeast Asia and collaborating with partners around the world to deliver reliable next-generation fiber connectivity.
As YOFC Indonesia enters its second decade, it remains committed to strengthening Indonesia’s digital economy, closing regional development gaps and creating sustainable value for local communities, customers and partners.
