About HIMKI
The existence of the national furniture and crafts industry sector has a significant contribution as one of the leading national labor-intensive industries because of its role which has been proven to be able to absorb large numbers of workers. However, this industrial sector cannot yet be optimized as one of the pillars of large and adequate national economic strength. To advance it requires efforts from all parties with innovative programs that can encourage the rise of a more advanced and dignified national furniture and crafts industry.
