STAA owns and operates ten palm oil mills strategically located across four provinces in Indonesia: North Sumatera, South Sumatera, West Kalimantan, and Central Kalimantan. Throughout 2024, the group had processed more than 1.84 million tonnes of fresh fruit bunches (FFB), producing over 389,765 tonnes of crude palm oil (CPO) and 87,126 tonnes of palm kernel. In such a competitive era, STAA makes it a priority to maintain the performance of all its processing facilities while upholding its core operational values:
Consistency in operation and maintenance.
Continuously adapt to stay on top of cutting-edge technology.
Actively optimizing and utilizing renewable energy.
Consistency in operation and maintenance
Our first palm oil mill, PT Sumber Tani Agung, has been in operation since 1996, reflecting long-term reliability through the consistent implementation of high-quality operational and maintenance standards. In 2024, the mill successfully processed 328,188 metric tonnes of FFB, underscoring its efficiency and strong operational foundation built over nearly three decades.
Continuously Adapting to Cutting-Edge Technology
STAA continues to innovate and adapt to technological advancements to ensure operational efficiency and competitiveness. The company’s first mill introduced a capstan system to move trolleys in and out of the sterilizer, a method that remains in active use at two of our facilities today. Currently, five of our mills are equipped with indexer systems, while one operates using a conveyor system. Our two newest mills feature compact indexer systems integrated with FFB weighing units, enabling precise production tracking and improved operational efficiency.
Actively optimizing and utilizing renewable energy
STAA is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by capturing methane gas from palm oil mill effluent (POME) and converting it into electricity using gas-powered generators. The company has also begun integrating solar panel systems to support operational energy requirements, further strengthening our commitment to sustainable and low-emission energy solutions.
