Indonesia: General Electric Indonesia plans to open a learning center

2013/07/17

General Electric Indonesia plans to open a learning center to allow its corporate customers, primarily national-owned companies, to get the benefit of the GE experience that made its parent company one of the major and best-run companies in the world.

The center will run programs to provide technical and leadership classes, GE Indonesia CEO Handry Satriago said on Monday.

"We are the mecca for practical management. In the business world, people are dying to get the opportunity to learn from this," he said.

US-based General Electric Co., better known as GE, currently ranks third on the Forbes World 2000 inventory. It has won world recognition and awards for leadership, brand reputation, green innovations, most-admired company and innovative company.

The learning center will link GE with its corporate customers, Handry said, adding that the trainers would come from part scholars, GE international and local staff members.

GE Indonesia acts primarily as a supplier to other companies. About 70 % of its business comes from national-owned companies, inclunding power company PLN, railway company PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) and flag carrier PT Garuda Indonesia. GE as well supplies medical equipment like computed-tomography (CT) scanners and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
