On the morning of Wednesday, September 23, 2026, APIKRI welcomed a delegation of three visitors representing Gilles Selamat Asia from Bali to its Yogyakarta showroom. The visit marked a promising beginning for potential business-to-business (B2B) collaboration, as the guests arrived specifically to explore sustainable handicraft options and establish direct trade connections.

During the tour, the visitors showed high interest in APIKRI's diverse collection of artisan-crafted goods, particularly requesting comprehensive home decor product catalogs. These catalogs will serve as vital reference materials to present to prospective international B2B buyers looking for authentic, ethically made Indonesian interior products.

The fruitful meeting concluded with strong mutual interest in forging a lasting partnership. APIKRI's team is optimistic that this connection with the Bali-based representatives will open new doors for export expansion and showcase local craftsmanship on a broader commercial scale.
