Tereos FKS Indonesia

Tereos FKS Indonesia is the country's first corn wet milling facility. It was established in 2014 to answer the ever-increasing demand for starch and sweeteners in Southeast Asia. The company is a JV between Tereos and FKS Group with a total of USD 100 million in additional investments as of 2017. Located in Cigading port—the country's leading port for bulk in the north west of Java—we run integrated facilities with a complex operation to produce a wide range of starch products and its complementaries. Currently, the facility itself has the capacity to process 1,000 tons of corn daily and will increase up to 30% or 1,300 tons at the end of 2018. We process our corn to a wide range of derived products which are applicable as raw materials in various industries, including food & beverage, feed, textile, adhesive, and many more. In a way, our operation will also contribute to local industry growth. We continuously improve our human resources quality, and today, we have created more than 500 jobs in the company, of which 99% of the employees are Indonesian.
