Surabaya, July 13, 2026 – Indonesia’s food and beverage sector remains one of the strongest performers in the country’s manufacturing industry. The Ministry of Industry reported that the sector grew 6.15 percent year on year in the second quarter of 2025, driven by strong demand for products such as cooking oil, beverages, and processed foods in both domestic and export markets. That performance helped lift the broader manufacturing sector to 5.68 percent growth, outpacing Indonesia’s national economic growth of 5.12 percent.

As the industry expands, collaboration across the supply chain becomes even more important for getting products to market effectively and keeping pace with evolving customer needs. Within that ecosystem, distributors play a strategic role, serving as the link between manufacturers and markets across the country.

With that spirit in mind, PT Lautan Natural Krimerindo (LNK) held its first Distributor Gathering under the theme “Stronger Together, Greater Tomorrow,” bringing together distributors from across Indonesia to strengthen relationships and build a stronger foundation for sustainable business growth.

LNK CEO Hendrik Gunawan said distributors have been an inseparable part of the company’s journey and growth. He noted that LNK’s ability to bring its products to customers across the country owes much to the commitment and collaboration built with its distributors over the years.

“We believe sustainable growth can only be achieved through strong partnerships. Distributors are not just business partners, they are an essential part of LNK’s journey in bringing quality products and solutions to customers throughout Indonesia. Through this Distributor Gathering, we hope to strengthen the relationships we have built, open up more direct communication, and align our vision as we continue to grow and create shared value together going forward,” said Hendrik Gunawan, CEO of PT Lautan Natural Krimerindo.

The distributors went on a factory tour at LNK

In keeping with the spirit of “Stronger Together, Greater Tomorrow,” all of LNK’s distributors were invited to visit the company’s head office in Mojokerto. Beyond the chance to reconnect, the gathering gave distributors a space to exchange experiences, discuss market developments, and build closer relationships with LNK’s management team and with one another.

During the visit, distributors had the opportunity to get to know LNK on a deeper level through a series of presentations covering the company’s history, manufacturing capabilities, product innovation, and plans for future growth. The direct interaction was designed to give distributors a clearer picture of the company’s values and its commitment to delivering quality solutions to the food industry.

The visit also included a factory tour through LNK’s production and logistics areas, where distributors saw firsthand how products are made, how quality standards are applied, and how goods move from the manufacturing line to the point of shipment. Through this experience, LNK hoped its partners would come away with a fuller picture of the company’s commitment to product quality, operational efficiency, and consistent service for customers nationwide.

Gala Dinner for LNK Distributor Gathering

As a token of appreciation for distributors’ contribution to the company’s growth, the day’s activities closed with a gala dinner at Shangri-La Hotel Surabaya. The evening had a warm, relaxed atmosphere, giving distributors and LNK’s management a chance to strengthen our relationship.

This first Distributor Gathering marks the start of a longer-term partnership between PT Lautan Natural Krimerindo and its nationwide distributor network. In line with the spirit of “Stronger Together, Greater Tomorrow,” LNK believes that collaboration built on trust, openness, and a shared vision will lay the foundation for delivering quality food solutions and driving sustainable growth in Indonesia’s food and beverage industry.
