ESA Sampoerna

About ESA Sampoerna

Our story began in 1913, when our founding father Liem Seeng Tee initiated a modest business with a great vision: To grow mutually beneficial businesses to improve the lives of countless people. With his unfailing loyalty, finely honed skills and remarkable leadership, Liem Seeng Tee transformed the small firm into a large and reputable enterprise. ESA Sampoerna Group (ESA) was established as an agricultural enterprise, with tobacco as our first commodity. In more than a century of operation, we have consistently demonstrated that expanding agricultural commodities is just as crucial as ensuring mutual relationships with our partner farmers across Indonesia.
