After some delays, it looks like Taiwanese company Hon Hai – commonly known as Foxconn – is set to build a plant in Indonesia. According to Reuters, Foxconn is looking to seal the deal with the Indonesian government next month. It was also reported that Foxcon “has no plan to export phones from Indonesia and will not make Apple products there.” Rather, it is the Indonesian domestic market that Foxconn is interested in, which a spokesperson claims is a $2.4 billion market for phones.

There’s no news on where the plant will be, but the government is willing to provide tax incentives if it were to be built outside of Java island, presumably to take jobs to less developed regions. With Foxconn coming into the country, it could create one million jobs in the nation, which certainly could be good news.
