Located in Tasikmalaya, Central Java, at the very center of Indonesia’s handicraft manufacturing heartland, we are cultivating a new brand of home accessories manufacturing. Drawing from naturally abundant resources such as mendong, pandanus and bamboo, we fashion a wide range of home and office accent products. Mendong slippers, bamboo baskets, pandanus boxes, stools and drawers… All are designed with a commitment to reduce our environmental impact and to maintain a rural ecosystem that retains its full environmental integrity. One of the highlights of our product design is the percentage of renewable resources content. Take mendong for example, one of our most rapidly renewable materials. This grass is cultivated and harvested in an environmentally responsible way, preserving the natural landscape and fertility of the soil while generating income for villagers. High quality standards and timely deliveries are two of our main priorities. In recognition of our efforts towards sustainability and our production standards, we have received awards from the Indonesian Trade Department and UNESCO. The company employs local adult workers that are provided flexible schedule, fair wages and a healthy working environment. We take a family approach to the way we manage our workforce, allowing women to take care of their children while working their traditional looms, and we encourage our younger staff to dream up innovative designs. For Mendong Jaya, serving the local economy and people is a fundamental tenet of doing business. Combine this with a recognized flair for quality and eco-friendliness, and you have a firm that is well positioned to ramp up its sustainability practices in the years ahead. |
