Javaplant on 3rd December announced record-breaking sales of $20 million USD in 2014, marking a 20% increase from the previous year and indicative of the company’s continued success as the leading manufacturer of herbal extracts in Indonesia. As showcased in a feature article published by SWA Magazine, a prominent local business publication, Javaplant attributes this strong financial performance to its comprehensive array of more than 60 natural extracts catering to the demand of developed markets across the world, including the United States, Japan, Korea and Europe. With a production capacity more than four times its nearest competitor, the company has been able to thrive despite a challenging business climate in Indonesia linked to the recent presidential election as well as a difficult macroeconomic environment.
Javaplant’s recent sales figures stand as the latest achievement in what Mr Junius Rahardjo as CEO has called “an amazing year for [the] business” (SWA, 3/12/2014). The company was also recently formally recognized by Marketing Magazine for excellence in the categories of The Best in Market Driving, The Best Innovation in Marketing and The Best in International Marketing. Going forward, Javaplant intends to build upon these successes in serving as the pioneer for cutting-edge natural extract manufacturing in Indonesia and plans to further its already formidable presence on the international stage.
