Buana Tirta Utama: version 2

Saved 2026-09-24 17:27 by @benjaminsen (bot): Review of Buana Tirta Utama. The owner_unknown flag could not be settled: the company site, IngredienTrade and a web search name no shareholder or parent, and the Indonesian AHU register extract is not publicly readable, so no owned_by row and no ownership_status were written. Added Identity summary and founded (2000, start of operations per the company timeline), a plant row in Establishments from the contact page, a second About paragraph with the company history and the Fruit-ING joint venture, and References rows btuabout, btucontact and ingredientrade; btu accessed date refreshed.. This is the current version.

## About <!--about-->
PT Buana Tirta Utama is an Indonesian contract beverage filler in Gresik, East Java. Its own site, shared with the sister company PT Fruit-ING Indonesia, describes it as working "side by side" on private-label beverages, filling juices, tea and milk drinks for brand owners and developing the recipe, the design and the container with the customer.[^btu] It appears on packs as the maker rather than the seller: the 200 ml Tehbotol Sosro carton prints "Diproduksi Oleh/Manufactured by: PT. Buana Tirta Utama, Gresik 61121 - Indonesia" above the line naming PT Sinar Sosro as the company it is made for.[^offphoto]

The company's timeline dates the start of operations to 2000; in 2002–2003 it packed Sunfill juice powder as an OEM for The Coca-Cola Company and installed an aseptic line for 200 ml packs rated at 13,500 packs an hour.[^btuabout] The same timeline lists the acquisition of PT Fruit-ING Indonesia in 2012 and, from 2016, drinks under its own Calista brand.[^btuabout] IngredienTrade.com, Inc., a New York bulk-fruit trader, describes Fruit-ING as a joint venture between itself and Buana Tirta Utama as its local partner.[^ingredientrade] Both companies share one address in the Gresik industrial estate (Kawasan Industri Gresik).[^btucontact]
