Abandoned Rubber Factory Building
Greetings
How are you all friends? I hope you are all well. Thank you Urban Exploration by @slobberchops as inspirstion. Sharing my experience visiting an abandoned Rubber Factory.
The many rubber factories in Sukabumi, West Java, both operational and abandoned,represent a historical journey. During the Dutch Colonial period around the 18th Century.
Plantations were opened by building are old,like the one I visited, this factory used to process rubber latex into rubber for other products, such as tires and other material that use rubber.
The location of the abandoned factory building is in the village, Cibadak sub-district, Sukabumi Regency,West Java, a rubber processing factory built during the Dutch Colonial era is only the remains of ruins of the building that is no longer operational.

When I entered the factory, the security guard warned me to be careful because the roof convering of the building often collapsed. I also Saw the remains of machines that were once used for rubber processing. Now unused and have become scrap, the rubber processing pools were also just ruins.
Because the age of the building is old,many of the roofs of the building have collapsed, such as the roof coverings of the glass windows are broken. The rubber prosessing factory used to have employees working there.
There was an iron bell that signaled when employees came in and when they left. This iron bell was a silent witness to the history of the rubber processing factory.
The area of the unused rubber processing factory is quite extensive and the remaining abandoned buildings are guarded by plantation company security guard, as the rubber processing building asset are state property.
Thank you very much for reading.
