However, JM clarified that PT Kharisma Setrabuana Asri, the company that manages GAP in Indonesia, would not lay off its employees.
“They will be transferred to other branches of PT Kharisma Sentrabuana Asri,” JM explained. The company obtained contracts with several fashion brands, such as GUESS, La Senza, and Superdry.
