Since its inception in Jakarta in 1987 through its subsidiary PT. Dutapalma Nusantara, PT Darmex Agro has evolved into one of Indonesia’s most prominent entities in the cultivation, production, and export of high-quality palm oil. As a pioneering group within the sector, the company has played a fundamental role in establishing Indonesia as the world’s premier palm oil producing nation.
Through strategic land acquisition and the development of state-of-the-art refineries, Darmex Agro has consistently expanded to meet the soaring global demand for agricultural commodities. With a primary operational footprint spanning across Riau and Kalimantan, the group maintains a robust presence in the heart of Indonesia’s most productive agricultural regions.

Beyond raw extraction, the company leverages advanced refining facilities to transform CPO into a diverse array of essential derivatives used in food, personal care, and industrial applications. This integrated supply chain allows for maximum efficiency and strict quality control from the plantation to the final product.

## Integrated Infrastructure and Operations
While the core business of Darmex Agro revolves around plantations and milling, the company has strategically expanded its portfolio to include comprehensive processing facilities, storage terminals, and specialized shipping infrastructure. This extensive integration allows the group to manage the complexities of the supply chain, ensuring that high-quality products are delivered to global clients with precision and efficiency.
Headquartered in Jakarta, the company is powered by a dedicated workforce of over 13,000 professionals.
