A factory, not a trading desk
What we sell, we make. Carbonization, pressing, drying, testing, and packing all run on our own lines, which is how the spec on the CoA ends up matching the spec in the box.

Fifteen years making one product, and making it properly
IndonesiaCharcoal began in 2010, drum-carbonizing coconut shell for the domestic market. BBQ briquettes were the first export line; shisha cubes followed as Middle East demand for consistent white-ash charcoal grew.
Today the plant runs separate lines for cubes, hexagons, sticks, flats, Kaloud discs, BBQ briquettes, and lump, with an in-house burn lab sitting between pressing and packing. A batch that misses its fixed carbon, ash, or moisture target never ships; it is reground into the industrial fines line.
We keep the customer list short on purpose: distributors, hookah brands, retail chains, and food service groups that reorder to a schedule. Most of the volume moves on annual container programmes with fixed specs and periodic pricing reviews.

Common questions
Straight answers on MOQs, samples, testing, payment, and shipping.
What is the minimum order quantity?
One 20 ft container, loaded to about 18 t. A 40 ft holds about 26 t, and larger quantities earn a discount. We do not ship LCL or pallet lots, although a mixed-product container is fine for a trial.
Can I get samples before ordering?
Yes. Samples up to 1 kg are free, with the shipping on your account. Larger samples are charged at a minimum price. Ship collect on your own DHL or FedEx account, or ask us for a quote from our preferred courier.
What is the production lead time?
Typically 1 to 4 weeks from order confirmation to loading, depending on the quantity and the orders already in production. Peak season slots in Q3 and Q4 should be booked in advance.
What payment terms do you accept?
A 30% deposit on order and 70% against the shipping documents. On programme contracts we accept an irrevocable LC at sight. First orders are not shipped on open account.
How do I know the spec is genuine?
Each batch is tested in our own lab, and the container CoA quotes the batches that were loaded. On request we book SGS, Sucofindo, or Carsurin for pre-shipment inspection and factory audit at cost, and the MSDS and self-heating test report are issued before the vessel sails.
What packaging options exist?
Shisha lines go in 500 g, 1 kg, and 3 kg inner boxes packed into master cartons. BBQ lines go in 3 kg, 5 kg, 10 kg, and 20 kg bags. Lump and fines go in PP bags, kraft bags, and 1 t jumbo bags. Above the design minimums, any product can carry your branding.
Do you produce under private label?
Yes. Any product in the catalogue can carry your branding: your artwork on inner boxes, bags, and master cartons, printed to your dieline once proofs are approved. Mixed containers under one label are a routine way to launch a range.
Which Incoterms and ports do you work with?
FOB Jakarta (Tanjung Priok) or Semarang as standard, CIF or CFR to the major ports on request, and EXW for buyers running their own forwarders. The MSDS and the non-self-heating test report carriers require under IMDG Class 4.2 come with every booking.
