Suzuki has done its first activities on the Indonesian market in 1970 about its import firm PT. Indohero Steel & Engineering Company. Six years later they were built the manufacturing facility in Jakarta which is the oldest part of the Indomobil Group.
Their first product was the ST20 Carry (introduced in 1978), it saw extensive use as an Angkot.[2] Nicknamed "Turungtung", it was built until at least 1983.[3] This is an onomatopoetic word for the sound made by the Carry's two-stroke engine.
In 2011, the company invested $800 million to produce Low Cost Green Car (LCGC) in Indonesia. In 2015, Suzuki opened another plant in Cikarang with a total investment of $1 billion.[4] The plant manufactured Ertiga MPV for both domestic and export markets and K10B engine for Karimun Wagon R.[5]
