Kalbe and Morinaga Collaborate to Enhance Child Nutrition in Indonesia

KALBE Nutritionals Research Center and Morinaga Research Center Japan have worked together to create new ways to help Indonesian kids stay healthy. These new methods, based on scientific research, can boost kids’ immune systems and help them grow up strong and smart.

KALBE Nutritionals, in collaboration with Morinaga Research Center Japan, has reinforced its commitment to providing scientifically-backed, high-quality nutrition for Indonesian children. This partnership leverages Morinaga’s over 100 years of experience in pediatric nutrition research and innovation to develop products tailored to the specific needs of Indonesian children.

By combining advanced technology and extensive expertise in nutrition, both research centers have been conducting in-depth studies on immunity and digestive health. Morinaga, renowned for its probiotic research, has developed science-based solutions to enhance children’s immunity and support optimal growth. These innovative products are manufactured at KALBE Morinaga Indonesia, a joint venture between KALBE Nutritionals and Morinaga Milk Industry Japan.

“We understand the importance of providing high-quality and safe nutrition that is tailored to the needs of Indonesian children,” said Andy Chendra, President Director of PT KALBE Morinaga Indonesia. “Through our in-depth research collaboration with Morinaga Research Center Japan, we are not only bringing world-class nutrition innovation but also adapting it to the local context to ensure that every product provides the best benefits for Indonesian children.”

KALBE Nutritionals Research Center recognizes that nutrition plays a vital role in child development. However, one of the main challenges is exposure to environmental pathogens. Therefore, strengthening children’s immune systems is crucial. By focusing on digestive health, which is closely linked to immunity, both research centers have developed products that support optimal gut health in children.

To ensure product safety, taste, and consumer trust, Morinaga Research Center Japan continuously conducts research and innovation in nutrition. By utilizing cutting-edge technology, the company has developed innovative formulas, including the use of triple bifidus, to help maintain children’s digestive health.

“We use advanced technology to produce innovative formulas, one of which is through the latest innovation in the use of probiotics, including triple bifidus, to help maintain children’s digestive health,” explained Decee Aryani, Head of Innovation and Development Center at KALBE Nutritionals.

The results of this research, implemented through a range of KALBE Morinaga Indonesia products, demonstrate the company’s commitment to protecting children’s health by strengthening their immune systems during growth.

Both KALBE Nutritionals and Morinaga Milk Industry Japan are committed to creating a healthier and smarter generation. By focusing on the first 1000 days of life, which is crucial for child development, the companies are realizing their commitment through science-based research that meets both national and international standards.

“KALBE Nutritionals always prioritizes quality for the bright future of Indonesian children and always maintains close communication with Morinaga Milk Industry Japan to ensure that every product has undergone double quality control, both from Indonesian and global standards,” concluded Decee Aryani.
