Re.juve Becomes First True Cold-Pressed Juice Brand in Indonesia to Earn ISO 22000:2018 Certification

Jakarta – PT Sewu Segar Primatama, through its Re.juve brand, reaffirms its commitment to food safety with a new milestone: becoming the first True Cold-Pressed juice company in Indonesia to achieve ISO 22000:2018 certification.

ISO 22000:2018 is an internationally recognized standard for food safety management systems, ensuring that a company has implemented strict procedures to identify, measure, and control food-related risks throughout the production process. For Re.juve, this certification strengthens consumer trust by guaranteeing that every product is safe for consumption.

Since its founding in 2014, Re.juve has consistently emphasized that food safety is a non-negotiable aspect of producing high-quality True Cold-Pressed Juices. This is especially important as, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), 70% of food poisoning and diarrhea cases are caused by bacterial or viral contamination. To prevent this, Re.juve maintains rigorous hygiene and sanitation standards at every stage of production.

“In the midst of so many cold-pressed juice brands entering the market, consumers need to know which products are truly safe. Fresh products like cold-pressed juices require special handling from production to distribution. Toward Re.juve’s 10th anniversary, we are proud to achieve ISO 22000:2018 certification for our True Cold-Pressed facility, underscoring our commitment to delivering safe, high-quality products to the Indonesian people,” said Richard Anthony, CEO & President Director of Re.juve.

All Re.juve beverages are produced at its True Cold-Pressed Facility (CPF), which is fully integrated with High Pressure Processing (HPP) technology. This advanced method uses cold water at pressures up to 6,000 bar—equivalent to being 60 km under the sea—to deactivate harmful microorganisms in fresh food and beverages. The process ensures safety and extends shelf life while preserving the original taste, aroma, and nutrients.

With ISO 22000:2018 certification, Re.juve adheres to strict monitoring procedures covering equipment cleanliness, production facilities, and staff handling. These measures prevent cross-contamination and ensure every bottle that reaches consumers remains safe, fresh, and of the highest quality.

Sunpride Marks 28th Anniversary with “Sharing Energy for the Country” Initiative

Cilacap, December 2, 2021 – PT Sewu Segar Nusantara (SSN), the company behind the Sunpride brand, is celebrating its 28th anniversary on December 7 with a series of meaningful initiatives. Carrying the theme “Sharing Energy for the Country”, Sunpride continues to uphold its commitment to contribute positively to the community through sustainable activities that bring real impact, particularly in Madura Village, Wanareja District, Cilacap Regency.

The celebration began with an initiative to support the welfare of local farmers, including free medical check-ups. Beyond being a gesture of care, this preventive program also helps maintain the health and productivity of farmers — a vital pillar of the local economy.

Cindyanto Kristian, CEO of PT SSN, emphasized:

“Sunpride, as one of the flagship brands under Great Giant Foods (GGF), celebrates this historic 28-year journey with gratitude and enthusiasm. We believe our success is not only our own, but also a responsibility to give back to the community. Through this anniversary, we designed a series of activities as an opportunity to shape a better future together.”

In line with its commitment to sustainable agriculture, Sunpride also distributed agricultural equipment such as tractors and spray tools, and introduced Liquid Organic Biofertilizer (LOB) through a partnership with PT Inbio Tani Nusantara (ITN). This program includes demo plots that promote environmentally friendly and sustainable farming practices. LOB itself helps increase crop yields, reduce chemical fertilizer use, and improve soil health.

Beyond agriculture, Sunpride also focused on education, distributing 500 school bags to students at elementary schools, Islamic boarding schools, and early childhood education centers (PAUD) in Madura Village. This initiative reflects Sunpride’s belief that investing in education is a long-term effort to shape a brighter future, aligned with the brand’s 28-year commitment to providing positive nutrition.

GGF CEO Shares Insights at ICMA-SURE 2023 on Sustainable Rural Development

Purwokerto, 17 October 2023 – Chief Executive Officer of Great Giant Foods (GGF), Tommy Wattimena, was invited as one of the keynote speakers at the National Seminar of the Institute for Research and Community Service (LPPM) and the 6th International Conference on Multidisciplinary Approaches for Sustainable Rural Development (ICMA-SURE) 2023, held at the Krishna Ballroom, Purwokerto.

Carrying the theme “Advancing Health and Sustainable Development in Rural Communities – Current Challenges and Future Opportunities,” the event gathered academics, researchers, and industry leaders to discuss collaborative solutions for rural progress.

In his presentation, Tommy highlighted the importance of strengthening collaboration between industry and education to optimize Indonesia’s abundant natural resources and tap into export opportunities for advancing the nation’s competitiveness.

Drawing on his recent participation in the world’s largest food exhibition, Anuga Köln 2023 in Germany, he shared valuable industry insights:

“The global market value of processed foods and vegetables reached around USD 320 billion last year and is projected to grow at 5.5% annually. In the Asia-Pacific region, food processing is growing at nearly 6% per year, outpacing other global regions. This presents an enormous opportunity for Indonesia to leverage its agricultural strengths,” he explained.

Tommy also underscored key challenges Indonesia faces, including food loss and food waste, where Indonesia ranks second globally after Saudi Arabia, as well as persistent issues of malnutrition, stunting, and hunger.

“Agricultural products and food production often fail to reach consumers. The role of companies like GGF is to build reliable supply chains and invest in infrastructure so that food produced by farmers can reach consumers at a fair price,” he emphasized.

Reaffirming GGF’s commitment, Tommy concluded:

“Great Giant Foods is dedicated to providing nutrition both locally and globally, while ensuring our business contributes positively to the environment and society. By prioritizing sustainability, we aim to create a lasting legacy for future generations.”

GGF’s participation at ICMA-SURE 2023 reflects its commitment to advancing sustainable agriculture and rural development, while reinforcing the role of industry in shaping healthier, more resilient communities.
