Some people may be unfamiliar with the figure of Husodo Angkosubroto. However, those who often shop for bananas or other fruit in supermarkets must be familiar with the Sunpride brand.
People who like to go to the mall are also definitely familiar with Rejuve, a trademark that sells juices from various fruits.
Husodo is the figure behind the success of two trademarks that are often consumed by the public.
He is the 35th richest person in Indonesia according to Forbes in 2021. His total wealth reaches US $ 1.22 billion or Rp. 17.81 trillion (assuming an exchange rate of Rp. 14,600 per US dollar).
Husodo tajir twisted because he continued the family business in the commodity trading sector. His father, Go Soei Kie or Dasuki Angkosubroto, founded the Gunung Sewu Kencana (GSK) group in 1953.
However, his father died in 2009 and left the Gunung Sewu group to Husodo and his three brothers.
After discussing with his family, Husodo was trusted to be the captain of the business group.
Citing the company’s website, Gunung Sewu was originally established as a commodity trading business. The group extends to various sectors, such as food, insurance, property, and manufacturing.
No doubt, the total number of employees working in the Gunung Sewu group reaches 30 thousand people.
One of the companies under the Gunung Sewu group is PT Sewu Segar Nusantara.
The company cooperates with PT Great Giant Pineapple to produce several local fruits which are planted in the Lampung area on an area of more than 3,500 hectares (ha).
Several fruits are produced, including Cavendish banana, guava crystal, honi pineapple, and papaya.
Sewu Segar Nusantara also works with local farmers to produce golden melon and rock melon in West Java, baby oranges and tangerines in East Java, as well as Medan oranges, Barangan bananas, and Gerga oranges in Sumatra.
All the fruit is sold under the Sunpride trademark. For people who often go to supermarkets, of course, they have often seen this fruit.
Meanwhile, the Gunung Sewu group also produces Rejuve. The first food and beverage (F&B) retail business from the business group.
Rejuve itself is precisely under PT Sewu Segar Primatama. One part of the Gunung Sewu group’s business in the food sector.
The Gunung Sewu Group also has a business in the insurance sector by establishing Sequis Life Insurance. Then, a property company called Farpoint Realty Indonesia.
The business group also has business units in the manufacturing sector, including Indo Porcelain (IP), Mas Idaman Shoes (Smasi), and National Label (NL).
Not easily complacent, this man who graduated from The University of Southern California in the field of business administration has also expanded into the mining sector by building Baramutiara Prima (BMP).
BMP has a coal mining concession area of 19,340 hectares (ha) in South Sumatra.
Running all these businesses certainly keeps Husodo busy 24 hours a day. However, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have hobbies outside of work.
When he has free time, Husodo usually takes a vacation or plays golf to refresh his mind from the myriad of activities.
