Company Profile

PT. Otsuka Indonesia (known as PT. OI) was officially founded in 1975 as a joint-venture pharmaceutical company with Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Japan.

Erected on a piece of land covering around 40,000 square meters at Lawang, a small town in East Java (one would take about half an hour by a motor car from Malang town towards the north side), the Factory of PT. Otsuka Indonesia manufactures 4 product groups, namely :

• Clinical Nutrition Products
• Therapeutics Drugs
• Medical Equipment
• Medical Foods

A variety of Otsuka Indonesia products have succeeded in penetrating pharmaceutical product markets in Indonesia and have also contributed significantly to the development of health in this country. PT. Otsuka Indonesia's products have even been exported to a number of neighboring countries so that the products of PT, Otsuka Indonesia are not only recognized at home but also well-known widely in many countries, especially in Asia.

At the early stage of its establishment, PT OI still had to import all basic products from Otsuka Japan. In response to the Indonesian government policy on the importance of producing pharmaceutical products by ourselves for domestic needs, PT. OI decided to produce by itself all products at home. Through a careful, in depth and sustained survey, a clean, natural water source was found at the foot of mount Arjuna, East Java, which following results of the laboratory research it was found that the water contains all the necessary components to serve as the basic substances of clinical nutrition.

As the quality of the water is superb, Otsuka parenteral fluids have up to now been well-known in Indonesia.

The success in this basic solution encouraged PT. Otsuka Indonesia to open up other opportunities in the field of pharmaceutical industry in Indonesia such as therapeutic drugs, where Otsuka Indonesia is at present producing 6 types of therapeutic drugs (one of them is in the form of syrup) which are widely popular with Indonesian people and also with doctors as well.

Business diversification undertaken by PT. OI did not stop here. A new factory was erected on the same piece of land to support production by manufacturing medical equipment.

The success of PT. OI in the fields of Pharmacy and Medical Equipment also encouraged it to step forward to enter consumer business. After going through several research stages, at present Indonesian people have again been introduced with an isotonic drink called POCARI SWEAT which is capable of replacing lost bodily fluid for a variety of reasons i.e. human physical activities.

Business operations of PT. OI are constantly growing, where this can be seen from a troupe of medical representatives who may be found every where in various major and minor cities throughout Indonesia.

Not only in Indonesia, Otsuka international marketing network has also been growing and at present Otsuka International can be found in 15 countries in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Africa and not to mention America.

PT. Otsuka Indonesia in its phase of development is always based on the motto "Contribute to better human health".
