What KMK Group does

KMK Group is an Indonesian privately held footwear manufacturer founded in 1990 by Mr. CK Song, headquartered in Cikupa, Tangerang (Banten). The company operates as an OEM/ODM producer of rubber-based athletic footwear, sneakers, and boots under license for global brands including Nike, Converse, Off-White, and Converse Japan, plus its own local brand Eagle via PT Global Fashion Indonesia. KMK pioneered autoclave manufacturing in Indonesia in 1994 and positions itself as a large-scale, sustainability-certified alternative to higher-cost Asian production hubs.

The group's production footprint spans five facilities: PT KMK Global Sport 1 (K1) in Cikupa with 10,000 employees and 900,000 pairs/month capacity; PT Selalu Cinta Indonesia (SCI/K6) in Salatiga with 18,000 employees producing Converse and ramping Nike production at Terminal 2; PT Shoenary Javanesia Inc (SJI/K7) in Temanggung with 3,300 employees focused on craftsmanship and modernization; K5, the only handmade rubber boots manufacturer in Indonesia; and PT Recycle Center Indonesia (RCI) supporting material circularity. The company has invested in Industry 4.0 digitalization, with SCI receiving the INDI 4.0 award, and holds ISO 14001, ISO 14064, ISO 45001, ISO 50001, and ISCC Plus certifications alongside the 2023 ASEAN Energy Award.

KMK Group generates revenue through B2B contract manufacturing and licensing arrangements with brand partners, exporting 'Made in Indonesia' products across Asia and Europe. The company is founder-owned (Mr. CK Song serves as CEO), bootstrapped with no disclosed funding rounds, and reaches a combined workforce of 30,000+ employees. Its 'Human Touch Management' philosophy, instituted during the 1998 crisis, underpins a talent-centric operating model that has supported multi-decade tenure with anchor customers and consecutive presidential-level recognition in Indonesia.
