The story
The company was founded in 1972 with a small industrial scale at that time. Siantar Top was founded by Shindo Sumidomo (Heng Hok Soei), a businessman from Pematangsiantar, North Sumatra, which was then taken from the name of the city. Then, Siantar Top developed in the snack industry, namely snack noodles, crackers and confectionery (candy). In 1987, the company was registered under the name PT Siantar Top Industri based on deed No. 45 dated May 12, 1987 from Endang Widjajanti, notary in Sidoarjo. In 1991, the company began producing candy variants. The company expanded its business by operating other three factories in Medan (1998), Bekasi (2002), and Makassar (2011). In addition, the company also made a coffee processing plant in 2014.
