What PT. Hi-Lex does

PT. HI-LEX Indonesia (HLINA) is a B2B OEM automotive component supplier operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of HI-LEX Corporation Japan, the Japanese control-cable specialist founded in 1946 in Takarazuka. HLINA has been active in Indonesia since 1978 and manufactures control cables (Push-Pull, Pull, and Rotary variants), window regulators, and door latches that are embedded directly into vehicles assembled by Indonesian OEMs. Its core technology rests on proprietary control-cable formulations refined over nearly eight decades, with the company also producing internally developed cable assemblies that serve as the fundamental component of its window regulator line, plus CNC-machined metal formers and plastic components through ten CNC machines and a full heating-to-pressing plastic processing workflow.

The company supplies virtually the entire roster of Japanese-affiliated and domestic vehicle assemblers in Indonesia, spanning motorcycle OEMs (Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki), passenger car OEMs (Toyota, Daihatsu, Honda Prospect, Hyundai), commercial vehicle OEMs (Hino, Isuzu, Mitsubishi), and a long tail of Tier-1 component makers. Revenue is generated through long-term OEM supply contracts on a quote-based pricing model with no public disclosure. Operations are anchored at three manufacturing sites in Tangerang (head office, 33,495 m² land area), Cikarang (Factory 2 expanded in 2011 on 100,000 m² of land), and Cirebon (subcontract factory established 2015).

HLINA is governed by a Japanese-resident leadership team led by President Director Kaoru Okita, with a Board of Commissioners chaired by President Commissioner Taro Teraura. The company holds IATF 16949:2016 (2019), ISO 14001:2015, and earlier automotive quality certifications (QS 9000, ISO/TS 16949), and has received repeated supplier recognition from Daihatsu, Suzuki, Hino, Mitsubishi Fuso, and Toyota for delivery performance and zero-defect quality. As a PMA (foreign investment) entity wholly owned by the Japanese parent since 2001, HLINA has no independent capital structure and no venture or public equity investors.
