How Kino Started and Grew
Kino's story began in 1991 with a small company called Dutalestari Sentratama (DLS). Harry Sanusi, a businessman from Pontianak, started DLS. At first, DLS helped distribute a popular drink called Three Legs Cooling Water.
Early Products and Expansion
In 1997, Harry Sanusi started another company, Kino Sentra Industrindo (KSI). This company made candies, snacks, chocolate, and flavored drinks. The very first product from KSI was Kino Candy.
Then, on February 8, 1999, he created Kinocare Era Kosmetindo. This new company focused on making personal care and hygiene products. Some of their first products included Ovale face lotion, Ellips hair care, Resik-V feminine hygiene, and Eskulin perfumes. In 2003, Kino expanded even more. They started making products for babies and households, like Sleek and Sleek Baby.
Partnerships and New Businesses
In 2011, Kino got the right to sell Three Legs Brand products in Indonesia. This was a big step, as another company used to handle it.
In 2013, Kino teamed up with a Japanese candy maker called Morinaga & Company. They formed a joint company named Morinaga Kino Indonesia. Later, in 2019, Kino bought Morinaga's share in this company. It was then renamed Kino Food Indonesia, giving Kino full control over its food business again.
In September 2014, Kinocare Era Kosmetindo changed its name to Kino Indonesia. This was part of a big change to make it the main company. On December 11, 2015, Kino started selling its shares on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. This meant people could buy parts of the company.
Kino also entered the herbal medicine business in 2016. They bought Surya Herbal, a company known for its Dua Putri Dewi brand. In the same year, Kino expanded its cosmetic business. They bought a large part of the Ristra Group, a company known for its unique skin care approach. This deal also gave Kino control of Ristra clinics and care centers.
In 2017, Kino worked with Malee Group, a Thai drink company. They aimed to sell Malee drinks in Indonesia. They formed some joint companies, but most of them closed later. Only Kino Malee Trading continued to operate.
Where Kino Operates
Kino Indonesia's main office is in the Kino Tower, located in Tangerang, Banten. Besides Indonesia, Kino also has offices in seven other countries. These include Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia, the Philippines, Japan, China, and Vietnam. Kino has a large network, distributing its products across Indonesia and in 40 other countries around the world.
