Established in 1973, PT. Garuda Mas Perkasa has grown into a widely known private firm which dedicated its mission and vision to provide footwear to all Indonesian citizen. Our most well-known product is called “SWALLOW”.
Story behind the name of Swallow : Swallow is one of the type of birds that chooses a mate for life and will only nest with that bird and no other. Therefore a Swallow Logo symbolize everlasting love and loyalty to family. Swallow pairs travel long distances, only to find their way back to each other at home. That’s why our sandals are inseparable: BOTH the Left side as well as the Right side.
Agut Djaja together with his 3 sons Akila Anggono, Eliah Anggono & Alexander Effendy founded UD. Garuda Mas Perkasa in 1973 in Tanjung Mulia Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. At that time, it produced sandals under the ‘Swan’ and ‘Maruzen’ brands.
In 1976 began to produce sandals under the brand ‘Swallow’.
UD. Garuda Mas Perkasa changed the company’s legal entity to PT. Garuda Mas Perkasa.
The company was officially inaugurated by Hartarto as Minister of Industry of the Republic of Indonesia and Sudomo as Minister of Manpower of the Republic of Indonesia.
Akila Anggono expanded his personal business to Jakarta and Surabaya, so Alexander Effendy returned to Medan to manage PT. Garuda Mas Perkasa as the President Director until now.
We have representative offices in Jakarta, Semarang, and Surabaya. We currently supply our sandals not only to big cities throughout Sumatera Island and Java Island but also to many unreachable cities in Borneo Island (Pulau Kalimantan), Celebes Island (Pulau Sulawesi), Halmahera Island, Maluku Island, Bali & Lombok Island, as well as Papua Island.
PT. Garuda Mas Perkasa will continue to develop and innovate to always be the best sandal manufacturer in Indonesia.
