With over 90 years of brewing heritage in Indonesia, Multi Bintang Indonesia continues to strengthen its position as a leading beverage company while embracing sustainability and forging international partnerships, including in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Multi Bintang Indonesia, as part of The Heineken Company, we stay rooted in our purpose to brew the joy of true togetherness to inspire a better world \u2014 all while operating sustainably and responsibly,\u201d said Roland Bala, president director of Multi Bintang Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company\u2019s portfolio has continuously evolved to meet changing consumer preferences. Beyond its flagship Bintang brand, Heineken beer and Tiger Soju Flavoured Lager, the brewery remains committed to innovation. In January, it expanded its Bintang portfolio with the launch of Bintang Arak Jeruk & Madu \u2014 a unique blend of Balinese arak, refreshing orange and sweet honey available exclusively in Bali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This focus on innovation creates natural synergies with Japanese business culture. \u201cWe share some similarities with the Japanese community; that is, a focus on innovation and quality,\u201d Bala said. \u201cThis common ground makes the Japanese community an important group to us, and we continuously strive to strengthen our connection.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, this connection was highlighted when members of the Japanese Consulate, as part of Junior Chamber International, toured Multi Bintang\u2019s Sampangagung brewery in East Java, experiencing firsthand the company\u2019s dedication to craftsmanship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability remains at the core of Multi Bintang\u2019s operations. \u201cSustainability is central to our operations, as we believe long-term success comes from doing business responsibly, for both people and the planet,\u201d Bala said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company has hit noteworthy environmental markers, with water-balanced processes among its achievements. \u201cLast year, we achieved a significant milestone \u2014 fully water-balancing our operations, meaning we replenish 1.5 liters of water to the local watersheds for every liter of beer we sell,\u201d Bala noted. Multi Bintang has also implemented renewable energy solutions, using rice husks to fuel its brewing process since 2018 and recently installing solar panels at both breweries to further reduce fossil fuel dependency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our shared focus on innovation and quality opens more opportunities for collaboration between Multi Bintang Indonesia and the Japanese community.<\/p>Roland Bala<\/strong>, President Director of Multi Bintang Indonesia<\/mark><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n

Moreover, community engagement complements these environmental initiatives. \u201cOn the social pillar, we empower communities through 316 waste banks and waste management units near our breweries, engaging 14,000-plus households and managing 187 tons of waste,\u201d Bala said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking ahead, the company envisions greater potential for deeper collaboration between Japan and Indonesia. \u201cOur shared focus on innovation and quality opens more opportunities for collaboration between Multi Bintang Indonesia and the Japanese community,\u201d Bala concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
