01 — Local economy
Business in Bandung
Weaving mills in Majalaya and Rancaekek, fabric traders at Cigondewah and hundreds of independent clothing labels, the local 'distro' brands, give the area its textile and fashion economy. The city also hosts state aircraft maker PT Dirgantara Indonesia, arms maker Pindad and Telkom Indonesia's head office, and draws engineering talent from the Bandung Institute of Technology. Weekend visitors from Jakarta support factory outlets, cafes and hotels.
Where software helps: Clothing labels and textile mills sell through wholesale buyers, resellers and marketplaces such as Shopee and Tokopedia at once, and need one stock count across fabric, sewing contractors and finished goods.
