Glico Opens Largest "Pocky" Factory in Indonesia

Japanese confectioner Ezaki Glico Co has opened its largest-ever factory for its mainstay "Pocky" chocolate snack in Indonesia. The new factory will supply the growing Southeast Asian market and North America.
"Indonesia will be Glico's new growth engine as it is the most populous country in Southeast Asia and the fourth in the world with a rising middle-class population," Asia Pacific Chief Operating Officer Hideaki Nagahisa said Thursday, as quoted by Kyodo News.
The Pocky plant in the West Java Province has a total floor space of about 57,000 square meters, surpassing Glico's previous largest factory located in Japan's western city of Kobe.
