History

The company's operations in Indonesia originated in 1959, when Ferry Teguh Santosa founded PT Ometraco as a diversified group. [2] Japfa was founded in 1971 at Surabaya, as a joint venture between Ometraco and German firm Internationale Graanhandel Thegrau to manufacture copra pellets and coconut oil. Its name was initially PT Java Pelletizing Factory. [3] [4] In 1982, Ometraco took over Thegrau's stake. [5] Ferry's son, Handojo Santosa, joined Japfa in 1986 and later took over management of the company. [2] Japfa entered the aquaculture industry in 1987. [6]

It had its initial public offering at the Jakarta and Surabaya Stock Exchanges in 1989. [7] In 1990, the company took over assets from a number of other food manufacturers under Ometra, and renamed itself to PT Japfa Comfeed Indonesia. [8] Ometra went bankrupt due to the Asian financial crisis in 1997, but Japfa remained operational. [9] The company listed itself at the Singapore Stock Exchange on 15 August 2014. [10]

Corporate affairs

In 2021, Japfa sold an 80% stake in its branded dairy subsidiary Greenfields to private equity groups TPG and Northstar Group for USD 236 million. [11] In 2022, the group listed its China-based dairy subsidiary AustAsia at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, distributing the subsidiaries' shares to shareholders. [12] As of 2022, it is the second largest poultry and animal feed producer in Indonesia, behind Charoen Pokphand. [13] In 2018, the company was fined Rp 2 billion (USD 140,000) by the Indonesian Business Competition Supervisory Commission  [ id ] for failing to provide a notice to the body following its acquisition of a smaller firm. [14]

The company's Indonesian subsidiary made up approximately 75% of its total revenue in 2023, with other subsidiaries primarily operating in Vietnam, Myanmar, India, and Bangladesh. [1]
