DANONE IN INDONESIA
Danone started its business in Indonesia in 1998 by signing a strategic alliance with company that owns AQUA – an Indonesian brand of bottled water launched in 1973. With this partnership, the brand strengthened its market position becoming the largest producer of bottled mineral water in Indonesia. In addition to its water business, Danone established its Early Life Nutrition Division in Indonesia in 2008, with the acquisition of Royal Numico NV which owned PT Sari Husada and PT Nutricia Indonesia Sejahtera – local leading players in nutrition industry. Currently Danone Indonesia has more than 14,000 employees, serving more than 1.5 million outlets and 24 factories nationwide. In Indonesia, we are represented by two business lines, namely: Waters and Specialized Nutrition, with iconic brands such as AQUA; VIT; VIT Levite; Mizone; SGM Eksplor; Bebelac; and Nutrilon Royal.
