The BIR - Badatz Igud Rabbonim is one of the largest Kosher organisations in the World. Our Headoffice is based in the UK and we are very proud to have a local office in Indonesia which is based in Semarang.
We have been working closely with Indonesian companies for the last 19 years to give them Kosher certification and to great success. Due to our success in helping Indonesian companies get their products Kosher certified and in order to give a fast and efficient service we decided to open an office in Semarang,Java. In fact we are the only Kosher agency that has an office in Indonesia.
Our Jewish Heritage in Indonesia goes back hundreds of years and Jewish people have fond memories of their time living in Indonesia besides of course for the time it was under Japanese occupation. Today however there is no Jewish Community as a lot of Jewish people emigrated in the 1960’s and earlier. There are only about 20 Jewish people left and they are spread out all over Indonesia.
Our experience of working with Indonesian people has always been very positive and we admire them very much as hard working and sincere people.
Our Kosher certificates are recognised and accepted worldwide throughout the Kosher industry. The President of our organisation is Rabbi Westheim who is worldwide renowned as an expert in Kosher with over 45 years of experience.
Our Kosher clients in Indonesia are primarily in the following sectors: Food & Beverage, Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic sectors as well food packaging. The products we certify will be for the Industrial market as well as the Retail market.
We are happy to help and advise any Indonesian company looking to get Kosher certification for their products.
