Company History

PT Sawit Sumbermas Sarana Tbk. (SSMS) is a palm oil company with a mission to realize the full potential of palm oil. We manage an integrated business across 19 oil palm estates, six oil palm mills (PKS) and one palm kernel mill out of Pangkalan Bun, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia.

We believe in the tremendous potential of palm oil and are optimistic about the crop’s place in the future. With the highest crop productivity and land-use efficiency compared to other crops, palm oil can be a crucial, and more environmentally-friendly, answer to address future surge of edible oil needs. At the same time, the palm oil industry has the potential to contribute significantly to fueling development in countries such as Indonesia, especially their rural communities.

We therefore believe that palm oil companies, if they do the business right, can play a key role in sustaining the environment and providing for human needs at the same time. This is the role we aim to play.
