Unilever Indonesia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk was established in Indonesia on December 5, 1933 as Zeepfabrieken N.V., a subsidiary of Lever Brothers which initially operated a soap factory at Angke, Jakarta. The name was changed to Unilever Indonesia on July 22, 1980.

Unilever Indonesia is a joint venture partner with PT Anugrah Indah Pelangi in PT Anugrah Lever, and with Technopia Singapore Pte. Ltd in PT Technopia Lever. PT Knorr Indonesia, another Unilever company, was absorbed into Unilever Indonesia by merger on July 4, 2004.[1]

Unilever Indonesia won a 2005 Energy Globe Award for their waste management scheme in villages near the river Brantas in Surabaya. The scheme involves compost organic waste and recycling, and has resulted in improved local water quality on the river.[2]
