This system is reflected in the production of painting fabric in Jebres, Solo. Nasrafa, as one of the producers of painting fabric to use the local values that earn the company prestigious national awards and the increasing number of foreign buyers. This paper argues that local values do not always take shape as the physical products but also the philosophy and the process in which the fabric was produced. These local values are then shaped into integrity management that makes Nasrafa a local painting fabric producer who manages to compete in the global market. This research also argues that the success of export business is caused by the massive and structured support from the government, corporations, and local citizens.
