History
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.
