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 23 oil palm estates, Eight 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.
