BBS KJ - Affrian's Classes: JC1 Business Studies

On Tuesday, 7 August 2012, JC1 students taking Business Studies went to visit Pocari Sweat's factory. Pocari Sweat is a isotonic produced by PT. Amerta Indah Otsuka. We departed from the school at around 7am, and it took us roughly 2 hours before we reached the factory. The factory is located at Cicurug, (if you're going to Pelabuhan Ratu / Sukabumi, you'll definitely pass the factory).

Once we reached the factory, we were escorted to their presentation room (it fits 120 people) and the presentation starts.

You might not be able to see it, but the view behind the presentation room is Mt. Salak (yes, it's where the Sukhoi incident happened).

In the presentation we learned a lot about Pocari Sweat's history. From the research and development to their success story in Japan. After the presentation, we're given Pocari Sweat to replenish our energy. And, even better, we're getting our Pocari from a vending machine imported from Japan!!!!

It's the Pocari Vending Machine!!! You don't see it everyday

It's Pocari TIME!!

Pocari Time!!

Nice cold thirst quenching Pocari!

After quenching our thirst, we went to visit the production process. We could not take any pictures during this time, so no pictures here. Nevertheless, here are few interesting pictures in the factory.
