    THE VISIONAIRE ONE
    Tan Tjin Tjwan was born in China and brought to Indonesia at a very young age. At seven years old, he lost his father and survived difficult times growing up. Working many years as a leather crafter and cigarette labourer made him a tough, hard-working man. In 1953, he took a leap of faith and built businesses of his own; a humble factory of Rokok Hujan Abu and a weaving plant named Luwes.
  • 1932
    AN IMPACTFUL BEING
    Born from a poor Chinese family in Purwodadi, Djie Ping Nio grew to be a sedulous lady. She was smart and extremely tenacious. For many years, her daily routine includes waking up at a wee hour to prepare traditional parties and sell them in her hometown Batu Jamus. Since she was young, she had a really good business intuition that allowed her to seize opportunities like no others.
  • 1951
    THE INVINCIBLE DUO
    As a strong and independent wife, Mrs Tan complemented Mr Tan's leadership so well, like they were meant to be. Together, they built a legacy that started from a humble beginning. A small ten sqm retail store at Setabelan Surakarta which they named Luwes. Fifty-four years later, Luwes has grown to have 20 department store branches with over 5,000 employees across Central and East Java.
  • 1971
    A FASCINATING ADDITION
    In 1971, they saw an opportunity in the garment industry. Mrs Tan decided to learn about garment making and started a home-based company. She would design, make and sell hand-made clothing for men, women, and children – a new business that has continuously grown to this date.
  • 1985
    A GROWING MINDSET
    No opportunity was too small for the power couple. They saw a growing demand for fresh bread and took it as an exciting challenge. Ratu, a home bakery brand, was born and succeeded in no time. Today, the business has been passed down to generations. It is still continuously expanding as a strong player in the industry.
