Royal Lestari Utama

PT Royal Lestari Utama (RLU) is an integrated natural rubber company, pioneer, and leader in sustainable natural rubber production. We were established in 2015 and we are a part of Michelin Group, one of the world's largest tire producers. Through its subsidiaries, RLU has developed and manages more than hectares of natural rubber in Jambi and East Kalimantan, and operates first and only remilling factory in East Kalimantan. We transform unproductive areas destroyed by illegal logging and "slash-and-burn" practices into productive lands - through reforestation and rubber planting. Rubber trees are planted on 50% of our concession lands, while we set aside the remaining lands for community livelihood and conservation. With Indonesia's first ever sustainable rubber plantations, we're an example of what can happen when businesses have the drive, resources, and patience to do what's best for the earth, for communities, and in the long term - for our bottom line. At RLU, we believe that the smart production of quality rubber can provide sustainable livelihoods for workers and communities while protecting the environment and creating a business that rewards the local and national economy.
