Jakarta, Indonesia, May 6, 2020 – DKSH Business Unit Consumer Goods, the leading partner for fast moving consumer goods companies seeking to grow their business in Asia, is expanding its partnership agreement with PT. Unilever Indonesia. DKSH, through its Indonesian partner, Wicaksana, has been distributing Unilever's wide array of products in Gowa, Takalar, Jeneponto and Toraja in South Sulawesi as well as in Denpasar city, Bali, since 2019. In early 2020 the partnership continued with Gorontalo, a province in Sulawesi, followed by greater areas in Jakarta.

Among the brands covered by the partnership are household names of personal and home care as well as food and beverage, such as Vaseline, Dove, Rexona, Pepsodent and Lux. All are targeted to Indonesian audiences of all ages and across all segments.
