Our History
A long history of PT. Irawan Djaja Agung started when Mr. Ie Kim Tie founded a medicine store in Surabaya named ’Chemicalien Handel Ie Kim Tie’ on September 19th, 1929.
First Generation
Mr. Ie Kim Tie was born in a small village in Canton,Taipu, China on March 19th, 1889. He grew up learning about traditional medicine from his parents.

PT. Irawan Djaja Agung
In 1970, because of the government’s regulations that didn’t allow a medicine store to produce medicines, PT. Irawan Djaja Agung was founded to produce a variety of medicine and food additives. So that, ‘Chemicalien Handel Ie Kim Tie’ became the sole distributor.

Quoted from the official website of the United Nations (UN), Thursday (8/3/2018), warning about the National Women’s Day was first performed on February 28, 1909 in New York, United States. The agenda was initiated by the United States Socialist Party to commemorate the anniversary of women’s demonstrations a year earlier in New York on March 8, 1908.
The women’s rights movement movement in 1908 was motivated by garment factory workers. They demand rights of opinion and politics. In 1910, the international socialist organization gathered in Copenhagen to establish the Women’s Day. The proposal was agreed by 100 women from 17 countries. But it has not been determined about the date of the day is commemorated.
Scrolled to the following year, International Women’s Day was marked on March 19 and commemorated in Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Denmark. More than 1 million women and men are involved.
In the period 1913-1914, International Women’s Day was used as a movement of rejection of World War I. In some European countries, International Women’s Day was used to protest the world war or as a solidarity act among women.
In 1917, Russian women protested the war with a movement titled ’Bread and Peace’ on the last Sunday in February. The day coincides with March 8th in the Christian calendar. 4 days later, the Russian Tsar gave the right to vote for the women.
Until finally in 1975, for the first time the UN commemorated International Women’s Day on 8 March. Since then on this date is celebrated as International Women’s Day.
