Brief History
Growing through time beyond the heritage.
1916-1945 NV WA Hoek Machine en Zuurstof, a Dutch company, built Oxygen factory in Jakarta in 1916, and, later on, in Surabaya in 1920, and in Bandung in 1939. Meanwhile, NV Javasche Koelzoor Fabriek built Carbon Dioxide factory in Surabaya in 1924. Those two companies formed the basis for the establishment of PT Aneka Gas Industri.
1945-1971
In 1958, Indonesian government nationalized NV WA Hoek Machine en Zuurstof and NV Javasche Koelzoor Fabriek. NV WA Hoek became PN Zatas and NV Javasche Koelzoor became PN Asam Arang. PN Zatas underwent a rapid development and built factories in Semarang, Makassar, and Medan. In 1971 PN Asam Arang and PN Zatas was merged into a single company, PT Aneka Gas Industri, under the Department of Industry.
As the status was changed into State Owned Enterprise in 1971, PT Aneka Gas Industri had implemented operational policies such as increasing production capacity and modernizing its factories and distribution system.
