KKR makes its investment from its Asian Fund III. KKR’s investment in
Indosari is the firm’s third in a leading Indonesian consumer company in
less than 18 months, following its investments in agri-company Japfa
Comfeed and on-demand mobile platform GO-JEK.
Commenting on the investment, Ms. Wendy Yap, Founder, President Director
& Chief Executive Officer of Indosari, said, “We are very pleased to
welcome KKR as an investor in Indosari. We believe Indosari will benefit
from KKR’s knowledge and experience in the consumer sector and look
forward to drawing on their longstanding expertise and full support to
accelerate the growth of the business and position the company for
long-term success.”
Indosari is a leader and pioneer in Indonesia’s mass-produced, branded
bread segment. Established in 1995, the Company has 10 manufacturing
facilities across eight cities across the country. Marketed under its
own Sari Roti brand, Indosari produces and sells a wide range of bread
and cake products which have become a recognized staple in many
Indonesian homes. Indosari’s products are distributed across its
extensive network of 67,000 points of sale across both modern trade and
general trade channels.
KKR’s investment in Indosari is being made at a time when Indonesia has
seen consumption as a percentage of GDP rise to 58%. KKR forecasts
Indonesia’s GDP-per-capita to grow significantly in the near term, in
conjunction with accelerated urbanization trends and a population of
261.1 million of which half is under the age of 30. These emerging
middle class consumers are already demanding higher-quality products and
value-added services which should drive the long-term growth of sectors
such as branded consumer products, including those produced by Indosari.
Jaka Prasetya, Managing Director at KKR Asia, said, “Indosari is KKR’s
third investment in a leading consumer goods company in Indonesia,
underscoring our strong belief in the continued growth of the country’s
consumer sector. KKR is focused on partnering with strong Indonesian
entrepreneurs to provide assistance and capital to home-grown, local
champions like Indosari. We believe that, with its focus on delivering
premium, high-quality products to consumers, Indosari is well-positioned
to capture opportunities across Indonesia and overseas. We look forward
to working alongside Ms. Wendy Yap and the whole Indosari team to build
on the company’s success.”
