Mayora Group, officially known as PT Mayora Indah Tbk, is a big food and drink company from Indonesia. It started on February 17, 1977, thanks to Jogi Hendra Atmadja. Mayora is famous for making many popular snacks and drinks. They are especially known for their Kopiko coffee candies, which are sold all over the world! Mayora's main office is in Jakarta, Indonesia.

The company's shares have been traded on the Indonesia Stock Exchange since July 4, 1990.

Mayora's Story: How It Began

Mayora's journey started way back in 1948. A family who moved to Indonesia began making biscuits in their home kitchen. Their very first product was Marie Biscuits. Later, in 1976, the family moved to Kampung Bali in Jakarta. There, they started selling their popular Roma brand biscuits.

From Home Kitchen to Big Company

The company officially became "United Brand" in 1977. They opened their first factory in Tangerang, which is west of Jakarta. A few years later, in 1982, they launched Kopiko, a coffee-flavored candy that became a huge hit.

In 1984, United Brand started making chocolates. They launched the Beng-Beng chocolate bar. The next year, in 1985, they introduced Choki-Choki, a chocolate paste.

Growing Bigger and Changing Names

In 1990, the company became a public company, meaning people could buy shares in it. This helped them grow even more and expand to other countries in Asia. At this time, "United Brand" changed its name to "Mayora Indah." Also in 1990, they launched their own instant coffee brand called Torabika.

Mayora kept growing and adding new products. In 1992, they launched Energen, a nutritious drink. By 1995, they entered the instant noodles market with Migelas, which quickly became one of the top instant noodle brands in Indonesia.

New Drinks and Space Adventures

In 2011, Mayora started making ready-to-drink tea with Teh Pucuk Harum. Then, in 2015, they launched Le Minerale, a brand of bottled water.

Something really cool happened in November 2017! Mayora's Kopiko snacks were seen at the International Space Station. Astronauts had them as part of their Thanksgiving dinner in space!

In 2019, Jogi Hendra Atmadja, the founder and head of Mayora, was recognized by Forbes as one of the richest people in Indonesia.
