PT Suzuki Indomobil Motor (formerly PT Indomobil Suzuki International until December 2008) is a joint venture between Suzuki Motor Corporation and the Indomobil Group. The company is located in Jakarta, Indonesia and specializes in manufacturing Suzuki vehicles for the domestic and international markets. A separate company, PT Suzuki Indomobil Sales (SIS), previously PT Indomobil Niaga International, handles sales and marketing of Suzuki automobiles and motorcycles.

Suzuki's first activities in the Indonesian market in 1970 were through its import firm PT Indohero Steel & Engineering Company. Six years later Suzuki built a manufacturing facility, which is the oldest part of the Indomobil Group.

Suzuki's first product was the ST20 Carry (introduced in 1978), which saw extensive use as an Angkot. Nicknamed "Turungtung" (an onomatopoetic word for the sound made by the Carry's two-stroke engine), it was built until at least 1983.

In 2011, the company invested $800 million to produce the Low Cost Green Car (LCGC) in Indonesia. In 2015, Suzuki opened another plant in Cikarang with a total investment of $1 billion. The plant manufactured the Ertiga MPV for both domestic and export markets and the K10B engine for the Karimun Wagon R.
