PT. Fresh On Time Seafood

What PT. Fresh On Time Seafood does

PT. Fresh On Time Seafood is an Indonesian seafood processor and exporter headquartered in Bogor, West Java, founded in 2004 by Bintarna Tardy (who began in seafood canning in 1984). The company operates 604 employees across multiple processing plants on Java, Sumatera, Borneo, and Celebes, with procurement coverage spanning the entire Indonesian archipelago. Its product portfolio spans five core categories — tuna (Yellow Fin and Skipjack in fresh loin, saku, center cut, steak, cube, and precooked loin formats), blue swimmer crab (jumbo lump, super lump, special, claw meat), snapper (WGGS and fillet), cephalopods (flower-type octopus, ball-type octopus, baby octopus), and opilio king crab — alongside a value-added line of prepared items including maki rolls, croquettes, crab cakes, stuffed crab, spring rolls, and crab balls. Core processing technology centers on IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) capabilities and strict quality-control protocols.

The business operates as a B2B seafood manufacturer targeting international importers, distributors, and food-service providers in the US, EU, and Japan. Revenue is generated exclusively through product sales under a hardware-sales model, with pricing handled through direct contact and quote-based negotiation rather than public listing. Distribution is executed via direct field sales supported by participation in major seafood trade exhibitions (Barcelona Seafood Show 2024/2025, Boston Seafood Show 2022/2025, Indonesia Seafood Show 2019/2022) and direct engagement with the Indonesian Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries on regulatory and trade-barrier matters.

The company holds CTPAT, GMP, EU, HACCP, and FDA certifications, and is a member of APRI (Asosiasi Pengusaha Rajungan Indonesia), through which it implements sustainable crab-sourcing practices including minimum catch sizes, bans on harvesting pregnant females, and protected holding areas. Ownership is concentrated with the founder/family (privately held, no institutional investors, no funding rounds disclosed). In 2025, the company has publicly repositioned itself as an 'Integrated, Zero Waste & Green Energy Fisheries Company.'
