PT AQUA Golden Mississippi was established in 1973 by Tirto Utomo as the pioneer of bottled mineral water company in Indonesia. The first factory was built in Bekasi. Throughout 30 years of experience, the company has expanded into 14 factories throughout Indonesia. In 1998, a strategic alliance occurred between AQUA Group (with PT Tirta Investama as its holding company) and DANONE Group. The merger has further improved AQUA's performance in terms of product quality, market share and the industry's advanced bottling technology requirements.
