Astra Daihatsu Motor

In 1973, Astra International acquired the rights to import Daihatsu vehicles into Indonesia. By 1976, Astra became the sole agent, importer, and distributor of Daihatsu in the Indonesian market. In 1978, PT Daihatsu Indonesia was established by Astra International, Daihatsu, and Nichimen Corporation as a steel pressing plant. An engine plant, PT Daihatsu Engine Manufacturing Indonesia (DEMI), was created in 1983. In 1987, PT Nasional Astra Motor was formed as the exclusive agent and importer of Daihatsu. In 1992, these three companies merged to create ADM.

In 2003, ADM along with partner Toyota Astra Motor unveiled the Toyota Avanza and Daihatsu Xenia. The vehicles are part of the first collaboration project of Toyota, Daihatsu, and Astra and combined Toyota's expertise in Toyota Production System (TPS) and Daihatsu's expertise in producing low-cost vehicles. At the time, production capacity of the ADM plant is capped at 80,000 vehicles annually. By 2005, it was expanded to 200,000. It further expanded to current 530,000 after a series of expansions and the opening of a new plant in Karawang.

ADM is supported by five plants, which are Sunter Assembly Plant, Sunter Press Plant, Karawang Casting Plant, Karawang Engine Plant and the Karawang Assembly Plant, supported by a spare parts center at Cibitung, with an overall installed production capacity of 530,000 units per year.
