PT. Siger Jaya Abadi (SJA) was incorporated on the 26th August 2011, in Lampung, Sumatera, Indonesia. Initially, PT SJA produced pasteurized blue swimming crab meat (portunus sp.) which was exported to the United States.
In July 2013, SJA took a big leap to achieve its vision by purchasing land and factory facilities to manage its production more independently. This acquisition allowed the company to become bigger, stronger, and garnered more support and commitment from its stakeholders.
