PT Aneka Coffee Industry
PT Aneka Coffee Industry (ACI) was established in 1995 as a joint venture company by PT Prasidha Aneka Niaga Tbk, a subsidiary of Prasidha Group - Indonesia’s largest coffee processor and exporter, Itochu Corporation - Japan’s number one trading house, and UCC Ueshima Coffee Co., Ltd. - a strong player in the retail coffee business.
Originally coffee traders, Aneka went downstream to develop added value products. It now concentrates on instant coffee production (spray dried and agglomerated) at its Surabaya plant.
