Indonesia’s Sritex group has bolstered its production capacity in spinning mills and finishing. With this expansion, Sritex currently has 24 spinning mills, seven weaving plants, five finishing plants and eleven garmenting units, with a total employee strength of over 50,000 people. Development and improvement of human capital is the company's priority. In the two months of early 2017, Indonesia’s textile and textile product exports were up three per cent compared to the same period in the previous year.

The textile sector in Indonesia is an export-oriented labor-intensive one. It employs around three million workers, which is about 17.03 per cent of the total workforce in the manufacturing industry. The national textile industry during the last three years has been driven by new investments and factory expansion to increase production capacity.

For the national textile industry to improve its competitiveness, not only the capital and technology aspects but also competent human capitals are necessary. Therefore, efforts are being made to facilitate the improvement of human resources through a program of cooperation that links and matches industrial companies with vocational high schools. The program involves as many as 50 companies and 234 vocational high schools in east Java.
