On 17th January 2017, Kartika Sari started its official partnership with airline catering provider Aerowisata Catering Services (ACS). The partnership will see Kartika Sari, through its subsidiary Kartika Inti Sejati, manufacture baked products for selected Garuda Indonesia flights from Jakarta. Through this measure, Kartika Sari has thus demonstrated its capacity to formulate meaningful partnerships with major players in Indonesia’s hospitality industry.
As part of its private label service, Kartika Inti Sejati will produce sweet buns — available in cheese, tuna, beef, and chicken flavour — in addition to muffins. Moreover, Kartika Inti Sejati utilises only the highest-quality ingredients during its manufacturing process as well as PVDC packaging; PVDC helps to reduce the permeability of oxygen and extraneous flavours thereby further extending the shelf-life of the product inside the package. Kartika Inti Sejati applies stringent quality controls so as to ensure product safety and consistency — the finished products will also undergo a metal detector screening.
Kartika Sari’s partnership with ACS showcases the company’s standing as a trusted manufacturer of baked goods in Indonesia. This is further supported by Kartika Inti Sejati’s public label service for leading mini-market retailers in Indonesia. As such, Kartika Sari’s manufacturing arm thus serves as a value addition to its expanding brand name.
