In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Pontianak was one of the largest timber-producing state in Indonesia. Located in the west of Borneo Island, Pontianak was well-known for its Orange produce and the agricultural industries were thriving back then.
The humble journey of EMKL Kompas started in 1971. At the beginning, we serve only the Jakarta-Pontianak-Jakarta route. Back then, EMKL Kompas enjoys de-facto monopoly status. During those years, there were only a handpick of logistic providers or freight forwarders in Indonesia. EMKL Kompas benefited from the golden timber era - an era where timber supplies were in abundance and they were exported in large quantities to the capital Jakarta.
Started off with a humble beginning as a small freight forwarding firm with less than five staffs altogether, EMKL Kompas has slowly built a reputation as the preferred name in Jakarta-Pontianak route. With three decades of expertise and experience, EMKL Kompas was ready to embark on a new chapter. In 2001, EMKL Kompas underwent major restructuring and the Management saw the tremendous potential behind under-developed Eastern region of Indonesia. Under the new Management Team, EMKL Kompas expanded its network to cover the rapidly growing economic cities in Eastern region of Indonesia such as Makassar, Manada, Balikpapan and Samarinda. Shortly after, our network has grown remarkably. Today, we proud to partner small and medium enterprises in their market expansion drive in rapidly developing cities. To name a fews, they are such cities as Balikpapan, Batam, Jayapura, Medan, Palembang and Tanjung Pinang.
