OurStory
1980
THE BEGINNING
In 1980, the inception of our journey unfolded in Tanggulangin, Sidoarjo, as a small tobacco manufacturer opened its doors. Recognizing the untapped potential within the tobacco trading industry, Mr. H. Mansur embarked on the production of hand-rolled cigarettes (SKT) or rolling tobaccos. With the dedicated support of a trusted associate, the initial rolling tobacco lineup comprised Madjoe, Kafalah, Ngebut, and SB, making its debut in the local area of Sidoarjo Regency.
The success of our rolling tobacco products resonated positively with the market, generating enthusiastic responses for our kretek cigarettes. Consequently, Mr. H. Mansur, driven by a commitment to community empowerment, augmented production capacity and rebranded the business as PR. Maju.
In response to escalating demand, Mr. H. Mansur strategically fortified the company's presence, prompting a pivotal decision to rename the business. Thus, PT. Madjoe Karya Utama emerged as a formalized business entity. In tandem with this milestone, Mr. H. Mansur initiated collaborations with diverse business partners, securing raw materials and spearheading the introduction of innovative cigarette products, exemplified by the introduction of NB.

The narrative of our company unfolds with a tapestry woven from tradition, sacrifice, and an unwavering commitment to innovation and growth, placing paramount emphasis on delivering excellence in our products.
As PT Madjoe Karya Utama navigates its journey, it mirrors the cyclical nature of progress, acknowledging occasional shifts from the top position. In recognizing the imperative for heightened management control, both internally and externally, the company has taken a proactive step by temporarily pausing operations. This strategic measure is undertaken with the aim of revitalizing and fortifying the company's overall well-being, ensuring a resilient foundation for future success.

REVITALIZATION
After overcoming significant challenges, PT. Madjoe Karya Utama is poised to embark on a revitalized journey. Guided by the descendants of Mr. H. Mansur, who have inherited his deep-rooted passion for tobacco, the foundation for the future of the family business has been firmly established. Each descendant, much like their father, has played a pivotal role in propelling the company's growth forward, maintaining an unwavering focus on authentic and flavorful solutions in the ever-evolving market.
In a strategic and forward-thinking move, the descendants have chosen to rebrand the company as PR. Mapan. Under the new leadership, PR. Mapan is dedicated to upholding the legacy brand - NB Super - and is introducing exciting variants, such as NB Coklat, NB Orange, and NB Prima. This innovative approach exemplifies our commitment to honoring tradition while embracing progress, ensuring a vibrant and prosperous future for the company.
