History

PT Multistrada Arah Sarana Tbk or MASA, was known as PT Oroban Perkasa when it first started in 1988. They had built motorcycle tires and cars, with their own brands, which are Achilles and Corsa. MASA received assistance from Pirelli (Italy) and Continental (Germany) to improve their manufacturing technology. During the 1997 Asian financial crisis, the company was given to Badan Penyehatan Perbankan Nasional (BPPN) to save the company. In 2004, the company then was taken under the guidance of PT Indokemika Jayatama. They made the company available for IPO in 2005. Through equity and syndicated loans, the company has been able to expand their capital and increase productivity and quality.

Since then, Achilles Radial has expanded its product line into the industrial market. They started to build tires for trucks and buses with their Solid Tire or known as ST and TBR for their bus tires. The company also improved its internal quality by taking a more aggressive stance towards consumer safety. They gained their certificates for the ISP/TS 16949:2009 and ISO/IEC 17025:2008 for Quality Management System and a couple of other product certificates such as SNI, CCC, Inmetro, BIS, ECE-30, ECE-54, GSO, DOT, FMVSS 139.
