Expected Bagteria famous as bacteria outbreak, become 'infection' in the whole world. Nancy den Bert established PT Metamorphosis Abadi, which is the legal umbrella Bagteria.

With a capital of Rp 300 million, in May 2000 they set up a workshop making bags with renting a house, which is located right in front of the Ng family residence in West Jakarta. At that time, they only hire 5 employees.
