Kerry, a global leader in taste and nutrition, officially opened an expanded office and Research, Development & Applications (RD&A) facility in RDTX Place, Kuningan, South Jakarta, reinforcing its commitment to foster co-creation with local customers and accelerate sustainable food innovation across Indonesia and key markets in Southeast Asia.
The 1,200sqm space features two dedicated flavour creation and application labs for sweet and savoury applications, a fully equipped sensory suite, and a collaborative co-creation Lab for customers to work alongside its scientists, flavourists, and application experts.
Janeley Haryono, general manager, Kerry Indonesia, said, “This facility is a major step forward in our journey as a trusted innovation partner in Indonesia. With customers collaborating directly with us, we’re enabling faster innovation and delivering solutions that are not only healthier but rooted in local preferences and ingredients. Our investment is in keeping with the Indonesian government's 'Making Indonesia 4.0' initiative that emphasises the importance of the F&B sector in driving the nation towards becoming one of the world's Top 10 economies by 2030.”
Siddharth Rastogi, retail, meat and marketing lead, Kerry Southeast Asia, said, “Indonesia’s central location enables greater proximity to our key markets – allowing us to be closer to our regional customers to develop solutions together that are agile and relevant to rapidly shifting market dynamics. We’re excited to be a hub of food innovation excellence for the industry, helping to shape the future of food and beverage in the region.”
Pádraig Francis, ambassador of Ireland to Indonesia, said, “Kerry’s new RD&A facility marks a significant milestone in Ireland’s economic engagement with Indonesia. It reflects a shared vision of innovation, collaboration, and sustainability. Kerry’s growing presence supports Indonesia’s aspirations in health, nutrition, and industrial development, and stands as part of a proud legacy of Irish companies contributing to inclusive, long-term progress in the region.”
