OVERALL PERFOMANCE

 

Originally named N.V. LEVER's ZEEPFABRIEKEN INDONESIAN, the company was established in 1933 with an authorized capital of N.Fl. 1,000,000.- and an issued capital of  N.Fl. 200,000.- entirely paid up.  The company was founded by LEVER BROTHERS Limited of the United Kingdom and N.V. MARGARINE UNIE of the Netherlands as the original shareholders. Its notarial articles of association were revised several times.  In 1980 the company  was merged with two affiliated companies (P.T. VAN DENBERGH'S Fabrieken Indonesia and P.T. OLIEFABRIEK ARCHA) and was renamed P.T. UNILEVER INDONESIA.  On this occasion its capital structure was converted into Rupiah, and the authorized capital was set at   Rp 76,300,000,000.- with the issued and paid up capital amounting Rp 71,517,000,000.-. Then in 1980, P.T. UI was approved to go public and sold 15% of its shares to the Indonesia community. On 30 June 1997 the word Terbuka (Tbk) was added behind the name of being P.T. UNILEVER INDONESIA Tbk., or P.T. UIT.

 

P.T. UIT is engaged in consumer goods manufacturing.  The company operates three big plants, two of them are located in Surabaya, East Java and one in West Jakarta.  The plants produce various types of cosmetics and toiletries, including toilet soap, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, perfumes, skin preparations, tooth paste, pomade, washing soap, food seasoning, cooking oil, margarine, various floor cleansing materials and other products. In 1992,   P.T. UIT expanded to build a new factory in Cikarang Industrial Estate, Bekasi, West Java.  Besides, the company has diversified its business in the field of ice cream manufacturing.  The products are marketed under WALLS brand with a success marketing strategy to compete with other well-known brands.  Since the early 1997, the whole activities in west Jakarta factory have been moved to the new factory in Cikarang, West Java. P.T. UIT commands a very wide marketing network through out the country.  Some 5% of the products is exported to various Southeast Asian countries (ASEAN), the Middle East, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, Australia, etc.

 

 

Besides, P.T. UIT is also in cooperation with P.T. AQUA GOLDEN MISSISSIPPI for LIPTON  Tea production and marketing, with P.T. SARIWANGI TEA for tea production and marketing, and with  P.T. CIPTA YASA PANGAN MANDIRI  for Goldfrost frozen dough production and marketing.  By standards applying to companies in Indonesia, P.T. UIT is now the biggest in the cosmetics and toiletries industry and in the production of several food-related products such as cooking oil, margarine, food spices and other items.

 

In September 2003, P.T. UIT acquired light food plant of TATO and its facilities in Bogor, West Java. They plan to invest US$ 4,500 million in coming ten years particularly in modernizing supply facilities in the frame of export planning. Other steps are by ceasing unpopular brands  in the market. Consequently the brands will be lessening from 60 brands to only 30 brands.

 

In January 2004, P.T. UIT acquired 99.99% shares of P.T. KNORR INDONESIA, a producer of processed food under BESTFOODS brand worth US$ 516,032.-  In April 2004, P.T.UIT acquired the rest of the shares of P.T. KNORR INDONESIA of which its entire (100%) shares are owned by P.T. UIT.  Furthermore, the business of P.T. KNORR INDONESIA is merged into P.T.UIT with the expectation of is sales value and profit obtained by P.T. UIT will increase in the coming years.

 

We observe that P.T. UIT is a large sized company in Indonesia dealing with consumer goods industry and distribution.  Presently the company is a big player in its tea drink under brand of LIPTON Tea, FRESH Tea and SARI WANGI Dip Tea.  SARI WANGI is the pioneer of dip tea products in the country.  LIPTON and FRESH Tea gained tight competition from The Botol SOSRO, Teh KITA, S-Tea and others.   Beside, WALL’S Ice Cream has to face tightly with ice cream of CAMPINA, DIAMOND, MEIJI, WOODY brands and others.  We observe that 80% of P.T. UIT’s income is the contributions of the sales of house-ware and body treatment products, while the rest 20% is obtained from the sales of food products and ice cream.

 

In general, the demand for consumer goods and cosmetic products has kept on  rising despite dropped in the end of 1997 until the middle of 1999 due to the incessant economic crisis battering Indonesia. 

 

In general, the demand for consumer goods and cosmetic products has kept on rising despite dropped in the end 1997 until the middle of 1999 due the economic crisis battering Indonesia.  The economic crisis in 1997 has slowed down the Indonesian economic growth from minus (-13.01) in 1998 to 0.71% in 1999 rose to 4.77% in 2000.  In 2001 it declined to 3.83%,  rose to 4.37% in 2002, to 4.87% in 2003 and its estimated to  5.13% in 2004  to 5.60% in 2005 and to 5.55% in 2006.  While the inflation rate in 1998 was 77.63% declined to 2.01% in 1999 and rose to 9.35% in 2000. In 2001 it rose again to 12.55%,  declined to 10.03% in 2002, to 5.06% in 2003, to 6.40% in 2004 to 17.11% in 2005 and 6.60% in 2006. See the following table for details :

According to financial statement audited by Haryanto Sahari & Rekan, a noted public accountant, the total sales turnover of P.T. UI in 2005 amounted to Rp. 9,992.1 billion with a net profit of Rp. 1,440.5 billion, increased to Rp. 11,335.2 billion with a net profit of Rp. 1,721.6 billion and rose to Rp. 12,544.9 billion with a net profit of Rp. 1,964.7 billion in 2007 with total assets of Rp. 5,333.4 billion.

 

So far we have never heard that P.T. UI has been black listed by Bank Indonesia (central bank) or detrimental cases being settled in local district court. Payment condition for domestic and overseas suppliers is good with the credit payment system of 1 month to 3 months.

 

Previously the president director of P.T. UIT was Mr. Nihal Vijaya Devadas Kaviratne (62). But since December 2003 he was replace by Mr. Maurits D.R. Lalisang (58), has been working for Unilever Indonesia for 25 years and has held various senior positions.  He was appointed as a member of the board of directors in 1991.  Daily he is assisted by  Mr. Desmond Gerard Dempsey, Josef Bataona, Mr. Muhammad Saleh, Mr. Surya Dharma Mandala, Mrs. Debora Herawati Sadrach, Mr. Mohammad Effendi Soeparsono, Mr. Andreas Morits Egon Rompis, Mr. Laercio de Holanda Cardoso Junior and Mr. Bernadete Mary Wake, all are as directors.  They have excellent reputation in consumer goods industry and trade. The management has maintained a wide business relation among private businessmen at home and abroad as well as among government sectors.   So far we have never yet heard of the company’s management having been involved in business malpractices.

 

We are sure that P.T. UNILEVER INDONESIA Tbk., is very feasible for normal business transaction.
