BOKORMAS means the gold bowl in Javanese, a pot made of copper or gold. In history of the Kingdoms of Java, bokor was used to store gold jewelry belonging to nobles and rich people at that time. So that BOKORMAS signifies an icon of successes of production of domestic-scale cigarette clove that loyal to maintain the quality of flavor, according to the meaning that carried the Success, Quality and History.
Knowing what consumers want, companies will succeed. BOKORMAS wants to become an important player in the cigarette market arena in the country with consumer-oriented adult smokers. BOKORMAS tries to offer quality products according to the tastes and choices of consumers.
Owing to orientation to customer satisfaction, BOKORMAS offers and understands taste choices right way. So in its development, BOKORMAS can satisfy consumers' demand, better than that offered by other players in the cigarette industry. It is in line with BOKORNIAS’s motto of Quality is above Everything.
BOKORMAS became the brand of the clove cigarette making company chosen by five brothers when it was founded in 1949, bringing the meaning of Success, Quality and History. BOKORMAS was initially a merely small level home- made cigarette manufacturing industry that meets the needs of the local market in Mojokerto. This small town is located about 50 kilometers, West of Surabaya.
Cigarettes produced by BOKORMAS
can fill the gap of kretek cigarette
market in Mojokerto for several years.
And after the first, second and third
of five brothers passed away, the
business was continued by two last
brothers to develop and achieve success
like the spirit brought from the logo
BOKORMAS above.
In developing years, BOKORMAS
produces clove cigarettes for the
domestic market, especially in
Mojokerto. And the first production
since 1949 is hand-rolled cigarettes
(SKT) or commonly called Klobot,
whose production center was originally
located in Mojokerto and Blitar. And on
the development, SKT is only produced
in Blitar.
Following the development and
competition of the market, BOKORMAS
stepped into modernization by
producing Machine-Rolled Cigarettes
(SKM) in 1956. Since then the era
of manufacturing cigarettes with
machines started and produced filter
cigarettes, which varied in kind and
conformed to consumer segments such
as mild, menthol and (super) slim.
Also, BOKORMAS became the
first medium-scale cigarette making
company in Indonesia that successfully
producing low tar and nicotine
cigarettes. Enriching types and variants
of cigarette, BOKORMAS can also
establish itself as an expansive medium
kretek cigarette company. In the 1990s,
BOKORMAS opened sales branch offices
in 10 cities in Indonesia, including
Mojokerto itself.
The application of quality manage- ment standards or quality-based company management has been the main standard system since 2015. ISO 9001 certificate can be functioned in many business organizations, in any field of business. There are now more than one million companies from 170 countries with ISO 9001 certification.
This standard relies on a number of management principles, including the main focus on consumers, motivation and impact on corporate management, an approach to process and continuous development. The use of ISO 9001 helps to ensure that consumers can consistenly get good products and services, which in turn gives many benefits to the business.
In line with its vision and goals, BOKORMAS has emphasized product quality. The motto of “Quality is above Everything” is still held because BOKORMAS has become the first medium-scale cigarette company in Indonesia that succeeds in reducing tar and nicotine levels in its products.
BOKORMAS hangs on Government Ordinance 81 of 1999 and 38 of 2000 on Security of Cigarettes for Health. It defines that to meet the maximum content of nicotine and tar levels in cigarettes, a technological assessment is required.
The development of sustainable company infrastructure also supports quality management requirements, as reflected by the modernization to make products that meet market demand. Development is what makes BOKORMAS successfully reduces low nicotine and tar in its products.
