STAA owns and manages ten palm oil mills, one kernel crushing plant, one solvent extraction plant, and one biogas power plant spread across North Sumatera, South Sumatera, West Kalimantan, and Central Kalimantan.
Throughout 2024, the group had processed over 1.84 million tonnes of fresh fruit bunches and produced over 389,765 tonnes of crude palm oil (CPO) and 87,126 tonnes of palm kernel. By the same period, the kernel crushing facility had produced over 45,477 tonnes of crude palm kernel oil (CPKO) and generated 58,882 tonnes of palm kernel expeller (PKE).
In such a competitive era, STAA makes it a priority to maintain the performance of all its processing facilities, upholding the values of:
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
PT Sumber Tani Agung, STAA’s first palm oil mill, has been operating continuously since 1996— demonstrating long-term reliability through consistent adherence to high operational and maintenance standards. In 2024, the mill processed 328,188 metric tons of fresh fruit bunches (FFB), underscoring its enduring efficiency and strong operational foundation after nearly three decades of service.
Continuously Adapting to Cutting-Edge Technology
At STAA, we continuously evolve to stay at the forefront of technological advancement. Our first palm oil mill introduced the capstan system to move lorries in and out of the sterilizer—a method still actively used at two of our facilities today. Five of our mills are now equipped with indexer systems, while one operates with a conveyor system. The two most recent mills feature compact indexers integrated with FFB weighing hoppers, enabling precise throughput tracking and improved operational efficiency.
Actively optimizing and utilizing renewable energy
STAA is also focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions by capturing methane released from palm oil mill effluent (POME) and converting it into electricity through a gas engine generator. In addition, the Group has begun integrating solar panel systems to support operational energy needs—further reinforcing its commitment to sustainable, low-emission energy solutions.
