German quality at Asian prices
Indonesia-based Pura Group has emerged as the leading printing and packaging company in southeast Asia. The company’s name probably is known by most brand owners active on the southeast Asian market, unlike the name of the city, where the group’s headquarter is based. Located in Kudus, Pura is found in the northern plains of Central Java, 50 kilometres east of Semarang, one of Indonesia’s mercantile centres and the capital of Central Java.
The company’s history dates back to 1908 when it started as a print shop with 12 employees. Today the group has developed into a highly diverse group of companies with 8,500 employees, active in various sectors, such as printing, paper making, converting, engineering and anti-counterfeiting systems. The 20 production facilities are spread over the entire city, and Pura meanwhile is one of the biggest employers in the region. (continue)
