The journey of the largest bread company in Indonesia, Sari Roti.
“Sari Roti… Roti, Sari Roti..” the jingle may have been recalled in your memory because you frequently hear it around your residence complex. Yup, that is the jingle of Sari Roti sold by the hawker by a bicycle cart. Sari Roti stood as a Foreign Investment with the name of PT Nippon Indosari Corporation in 1995. A year later, this company started to operate as a commercial company by producing bread with the brand Sari Roti, which the first factory was located in Cikarang, West Java. A
And then in 2003, PT Nippon Indosari Corporation changed the name into PT Nippon Indosari Corpindo that is still used until now. Because the consumer’s demand kept increasing, in 2005 this company built their second factory in Pasuruan, East Java, and the third factory in Cikarang, West Java in 2008. Until now, PT Nippon Indosari Corpindo already has 10 factories located in Cikarang, Pasuruan, Semarang, Medan, Palembang, Makassar, Cikande, and Purwakarta. Wow! Can you imagine how big the company is?
