Founded in 2000, Javaplant is Indonesia’s leading producer of natural extracts and has quickly asserted itself as a major exporter on the regional and international stage. Positioned at the forefront of businesses seeking to sustainably harness the potential of Indonesia’s immense biodiversity, the company draws upon a specialized understanding of local flora such as Curcuma longa to meticulously develop premium herb and spice extracts favoured by F&B, cosmetics and pharmaceutical clients across the world.
Spurring Javaplant’s success in becoming the largest natural extract manufacturer in Indonesia is an unyielding commitment to innovation and investment in the latest technology. The company was the country’s first to implement cutting edge production processes such as Quadra Percolation and Vacuum Drying, and in doing so has pushed the boundaries with regards to natural extract quality and production scale. Despite remaining the only natural extract producer in Indonesia to have installed this advanced machinery (hence a production capacity more than double its nearest competitor), Javaplant continues to embrace its role as an industry pioneer through a sophisticated laboratory and analytics center, as well as pilot production facilities dedicated to the creation of novel extracts.
Such technical expertise in implementing the latest extraction techniques has seen the company develop a diverse product range spanning internationally certified extracts derived from turmeric, ginger, cinnamon and black pepper, among others. Javaplant also offers the flexibility to meet unique customer specifications for natural extract material types, thereby widening the scope of potential final applications.
More than just a manufacturer, Javaplant is well-equipped to provide its expertise and guidance to companies seeking to tap into Indonesia’s bounty of natural resources and develop extracts catering to an increasingly attractive market for herbal products in Indonesia. Javaplant is also keen to expand upon its own international network through cooperation with foreign partners positioned to market its trademarked natural extracts abroad.

In reaching out to discerning customers, Javaplant has taken an active approach to obtaining international certifications such as FDA, EU Organic, Star K Kosher and MUI Halal. Also supporting the company’s extensive export activities is a far-reaching network of 15 distributors and representatives located in 10 different countries, including the United States, Australia, Belgium, China and Japan.

Situated in Central Java, Javaplant’s manufacturing facilities are surrounded by plantations providing direct access to responsibly sourced raw materials. Close cooperation with local farmers in the area ensures the ready availability of high quality herbs and spices needed to produce Javaplant’s internationally certified extracts. The company’s expertise in working with smallholders extends beyond those located in its immediate proximity; Javaplant also works extensively with farmers and suppliers in provinces such as Papua to obtain highly sought after plants including Pandanus conoideus (or Buah Merah in Indonesian). In this regard, Javaplant is the ideal partner for entities requiring the guidance of an experienced local company in identifying, sourcing and then extracting from Indonesian origin plants.
