The research data was collected using interview, observation, and documentation methods. The data is then analyzed using qualitative analysis techniques consisting of 3 stages, namely familiarization, meaning, and data transcription.the results showed that trust in business relations between fab enterprises and its business partners was formed through a process that refers to the elaboration of 3 models, namely elaboration likelihood model, heuristic systematic model, and theory of planned behavior. The establishment of trust between fab enterprises and its business partners is determined by a number of factors, including: (1) speaking the way it is and creating transparency; (2) show respect and show loyalty; (3) straighten out mistakes and fulfill commitments; (4) listen first and give trust; (5) clarifying expectations and providing results; (6) confronting reality and making improvements; and (7) practicing accountability.
