Our Heritage


At Danliris, our strong heritage has been instrumental in laying the foundations for our ongoing success within Indonesia’s textile and garment industry. Having evolved from our humble beginnings during the 1920s as a home industry business established by the Tjokrosaputro family, we were recognised for the quality of our batik products as well as for our integrity in doing business. In 1970, the patriarch of the family business Mr Kasom Tjokrosaputro eventually established PT Batik Keris.

Mr Tjokrosaputro’s sons, Mr Handoko and Mr Handiman expanded the business to textile production and a weaving division was initiated in 1974. Venturing into this industry subsequently led to a change in the company name to suit the new vision and values of our business; Danliris, or officially PT Dan Liris was chosen. Taken from the Javanese words udan liris, meaning drizzle, the name was chosen to symbolise Danliris’ success is through maintaining the well-being and development of our employees, shareholders, and the local community as well as the quality of our services. Through this, we extended our services to include spinning, finishing and printing, as well as garment manufacturing by 1976.
