# Career Opportunities at PT Yakult Indonesia Persada: Join the Leader in Probiotic Innovation
Since its inception in Indonesia in 1990 under the license of Yakult Honsha Co., Ltd., Japan, PT Yakult Indonesia Persada has established itself as a cornerstone of the nation’s health beverage industry. Operating a state-of-the-art facility in the Indolakto Industrial Zone, Sukabumi, West Java, the company continues its mission to promote wellness through its signature probiotic drink.
## The Legacy of Yakult and the Shirota Strain
The story of Yakult begins with the visionary work of Dr. Minoru Shirota, a microbiologist at Kyoto Imperial University. In 1921, Dr. Shirota initiated his research into beneficial bacteria, successfully cultivating the Lactobacillus casei Shirota strain by 1930.
By 1935, this breakthrough was introduced to the public. Today, the Yakult Central Institute—established in 1967—serves as the hub for over 300 experts dedicated to advancing probiotic science. Yakult remains unique in the market due to its commitment to safety, the durability of its bacteria against gastric acid, and its proven ability to reach the small intestine alive.
