Maspion was founded in 1962 from a small
home industry that produced
kitchen equipment, managed by
Alim Husin and his partner
Gunardi Go. The home business at that time was named
UD Logam Djawa. Starting from this small business, the founder started a business that gradually developed into a big industry. This business is developing not only a product that is limited to making kitchen equipment made of aluminum but has expanded to the manufacture of kitchen utensils from plastic. In 1970, Alim Husin's family business progressed so much that he designed a new name and logo under the name Jin Feng (top of gold), and changed the name of the company to MASPION, the
Indonesian language short from
Mengajak Anda Selalu Percaya Industri Olahan Nasional ("Inviting You to Always Trust the National Industry"). This is in line with the establishment of a company labeled Maspion since 1971. Three years later, the company began producing PVC pipes and accessories. With this type of business the company's production is increasingly diverse. Since 1975, Maspion has also begun to develop the home electrical appliances business as well as stainless steel kitchen utensils. Maspion Group in expanding its business cooperates with top-class companies, including
Samsung,
Marubeni,
Komatsu,
Sumitomo Metals,
Kawasaki Steel,
Satachi,
Seven Seas Chemicals, and
Siam Cement. Besides selling domestically, Maspion products are also exported to the
United States,
Japan,
Australia,
Europe and the
Middle East. Maspion's export value in 1995 reached
US$ 100 million dollars. The company also has a representative office in
Toronto,
Canada. == Products and Services ==
