What Artience does

PT. Toyo Ink Indonesia, branded as Artience, is a wholly-owned Indonesian subsidiary of Japan's artience Co., Ltd. (formerly Toyo Ink Group) that manufactures specialty chemicals for industrial customers. Founded in 1994 in Bekasi Regency, West Java, the company produces a broad portfolio of printing inks (offset, gravure, flexo, silkscreen, metal decorating), can coatings, lamination adhesives, plastic masterbatches and compounds, and automotive door trim components. The company serves three primary vertical segments: packaging (flexible packaging, paper packages, food and beverage cans), automotive (interior/exterior plastic components), and commercial printing.

The company operates a direct B2B sales model with quote-based pricing, channeled through product-category inquiry forms on its website and a Surabaya branch office serving East Java. Production takes place at a single integrated facility in the Greenland International Industrial Center (GIIC) in Bekasi, which combines manufacturing and warehousing, supplemented by imports of advanced materials from the global artience Group network of approximately 70 affiliated companies across more than 20 countries. The subsidiary holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications (issued by SGS) and halal certification from Majelis Ulama Indonesia, supporting positioning with packaging customers in Indonesia's predominantly Muslim consumer market.

The business model is straightforward industrial chemicals manufacturing and sale — revenue is generated through hardware/physical product sales of formulated chemical inputs, with pricing negotiated per inquiry rather than via published price lists. Product development leverages Group R&D from Japan (including a 2022 gravure production-capacity expansion machine supplied by Toyo Ink Engineering Co., Ltd.), and the company has progressively expanded its in-house portfolio since 2003, adding offset inks, can coatings (2004), and plastic masterbatches (2012). A dedicated trading arm, PT. Toyo Ink Trading Indonesia, was established in 2016 to distribute specialty products to Indonesian industry.
