Trangsan is a rattan manufacturing village and the center of the rattan furniture cluster in Sukoharjo District. With the growth of the industry, additional rattan industries have been established in the village surroundings, as well as in the Sub-District area called Gatak or traditionally called Gawo.

The history of the Trangsan/ Sukoharjo rattan cluster dates back to as early as 1920 when 5 craftsmen were reportedly producing rattan furniture such as dining sets, terrace sets and baby cradles for the Kasunanan royal family. Real growth of the industry took place since the 1980s when the center expanded from around 5 home industries producing for the local market in 1980, to 9 exporters supported by 210 home industries in 2000, and 23 exporters with 410 home industries in 2006. A boom was experienced starting in the economic crisis of the late 1990s, initiated by strong export growth. Reports link this to the devaluation of the Indonesian currency, which facilitated exports and at the same time provided windfall profits to manufacturers who were paid in US$. Today rattan furniture production is almost completely for export. Producers/ home industries in Trangsan and nearby villages are linked to major rattan furniture exporters located in the village and its surrounding environment, in Sukoharjo and Surakarta/ Solo. Furniture producers in Trangsan and its environment manufacture rattan and combination furniture using wooden frames, rattan, and substitute materials such as sea grass, banana leaves, water hyacinth, and synthetic materials.
