This project gets off the ground to put YOFC in a stronger position to gain ground in international market in the optical fibre and cable field in Indonesia, which can further drive forward YOFC’ internationalization strategy.
 The expansion will occupy an additional area of over 30,000 square meters and the second phase of the plant will be built on the original optical fibre and cable plants respectively.

Representatives of the shareholders, leaders of the Karawang Municipality and Suryacipta Industrial Park delivered speeches to wish the project can be completed and set in motion as scheduled. They also spoke highly of the achievements made by YOFI and YOI in their previous business development and their contribution to the local economy.
As a key country along the "Belt and Road", Indonesia is an important target market for YOFC's internationalization strategy.
- In 2015, PT. Yangtze Optical Fibre Indonesia was established, which was the first optical fibre enterprise in Indonesia and even in the whole Southeast Asia, and also the first optical fibre project of YOFC overseas.
- In 2018, the second enterprise of YOFC in Indonesia, PT. Yangtze Optics Indonesia, began its production officially, renewing the record of signing the contract, starting the construction and coming on stream in the same year.
In the future, with the mission of "Smart Link Better Life", YOFC will continue its efforts in internationalization strategy by optimizing its overseas local sales and capacity planning, improving its global industrial layout. In this way, YOFC strives to make new ground in high-quality development and contribute to the new development pattern in which domestic and foreign markets boost each other.
