Huntsman Textile Effects Produces Hand Sanitizer in Indonesia to Help Combat COVID-19

Four Huntsman sites globally are now producing hand sanitizer for donation

JAKARTA, Indonesia – The Huntsman Textile Effects manufacturing site in Gandaria, near Jakarta, has become the fourth Huntsman location to begin production of hand sanitizer for donation amid the global Covid-19 pandemic.

Huntsman will deliver 4,000 tons of medical-grade hand sanitizer to the University of Indonesia each month for the next six months. The 24 metric tons of bulk product will be re-packed and labelled by the University for distribution to hospitals, health centers and workers on the frontlines of the pandemic across the nation.

Besides Gandaria, Huntsman is also producing hand sanitizer in Alabama, USA, Monthey, Switzerland, and Melbourne, Australia as part of the corporation’s international Covid-19 response.

Andry K. Wicaksono, Gandaria Site Leader Huntsman Textile Effects, said: “We are grateful to be able to cooperate with the University of Indonesia to help fill an urgent community need and support Indonesia’s fight against this pandemic. At the same time, we continue to work with textile and apparel manufacturers in Indonesia and around the region as they shift their production priorities to help mitigate the social and economic impact of the global Covid-19 pandemic."

Dr. Mahdi Jufri, Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Indonesia, said: “As demand for hand sanitizer has soared in Indonesia, this is the time for us to come together and do what we can to support our dedicated frontline workers. We thank Huntsman for joining us in this important effort.”
