Arun Lhokseumawe Special Economic Zone, Special economic zone in Lhokseumawe and North Aceh Regency, Indonesia.
Arun Lhokseumawe Special Economic Zone is a development area in northern Aceh that combines industrial zones across different locations with existing port and airport infrastructure. The site brings together manufacturing facilities, energy operations, and logistics services in one coordinated space.
This zone began operations in 2017 as a formal economic development area, building on industrial facilities that had operated in the region for many years beforehand. The transformation was part of broader reconstruction efforts in Aceh.
The zone supports regional development following the Helsinki peace agreement by creating employment opportunities and fostering economic stability for local communities in Aceh.
The zone is accessible by road, air, and sea, with a nearby airport and port providing entry points for visitors and cargo. Access to specific industrial areas may be restricted, so check beforehand if you plan to visit particular facilities.
The economic zone incorporates five specialized sectors: energy production, petrochemical manufacturing, agro-industry operations, logistics services, and kraft paper production facilities.
