History

2019

In 2019, we ventured out of the beauty category into the antibacterial soap category with the goal of delivering new and appealing alternatives to an industry which has not seen much change in the past decades. Our antibacterial brand Zen seeks to bring to consumers the benefits of natural antibacterial protection using time-tested quality ingredients.

In 2017, we moved our headquarters to our newly developed Prime Tower, a modern 19-floor building in the heart of North Jakarta.

2012

In the face of high demand for our products in Jakarta, we opened our third refinery facility in Marunda, Northern Jakarta.

2011

At our heart a manufacturing company, we continuously expanded and upgraded our manufacturing facilities to support the growing demand for our products. In 2011, we opened our second refinery facility in Gresik, Indonesia. With this in place, we more efficiently supplied goods to the Eastern part of Indonesia and secured 90% coverage of all the markets in Indonesia.

Committed to our vision of creating high quality products beloved by consumers, we rapidly extended our portfolio to include an entire suite personal care products including body wash, lotion, facial wash, scrub, makeup products and most recently, body mist.

2002

Continuing our quest for growth, we launched our flagship soap product, Shinzu’i, a whitening soap created with a proprietary mix of Japanese active ingredients. Shinzu’i met with break-out success in the marketplace, eventually becoming the household brand so beloved to many. It is now top of mind with “skin whitening soap” in Indonesia.

At the turn of the millennium, we underwent a major overhaul and change of ownership, moving from a fundamentally supporting company in a larger group to an independent company aggressively manufacturing and marketing consumer products.

Tropical quickly became grew into a trusted household brand associated with uncompromising quality.

In 1984, We started manufacturing margarine and soap products on a small scale to diversify our portfolio.

1984
