ABOUT PT GRANT GIANT HARDWOOD

Before there were containers and export markets, there was UD Makmur Jaya — a humble effort by two brothers, Mr. Hadi Riono and Mr. Rohmadi, to produce charcoal for the street vendors and local restaurants long before the business grew into what is now PT Grant Giant Hardwood.

In the early days, there was no talk about export, global standards, or big production lines. Under their hands, the business was simple and grounded—they produced charcoal solely for local needs: street vendors, small restaurants, and nearby communities who relied on steady, affordable fuel.

They built their own kilns, learned through trial and error, and worked closely with local woodcutters. Every sack of charcoal they sold came from long days of burning, cooling, sorting, and delivering—often by themselves. They woke before sunrise, tended the kilns by hand, and stayed late into the night to make sure every batch cooled perfectly. Smoke, heat, and long hours were part of their daily rhythm. And every sack they sold carried a piece of their effort, their hope, and their pride.

It was honest work; humble, yet meaningful.

As time passed, the business slowly grew, and with growth came new possibilities. When the next generation stepped in, the vision expanded. From Mr. Hadi Riono’s family came Mr. Ikhsan Adi Prasetya and Mr. Fausi Yoswa Alfaruki. From Mr. Rohmadi’s family came Mr. Faldi Prasetya.

We grew up watching our fathers serve local vendors—warung owners who opened their stalls at dawn, grill masters who depended on consistent heat, and small restaurants that trusted the quality of what our family produced. These memories shaped how we see the business today.

Now, as the torch is passed to us, we continue their legacy while bringing the company into a new era—expanding from local supply to international markets, yet holding tightly to the values taught by the first generation: work honestly, build trust, and let quality speak for itself.

PT Grant Giant Hardwood is more than a company.
It is a family story carried forward, strengthened by two generations, and built on the belief that honest work will always find its place in the world.
