Our enterprise, Sumatra Pasak Bumi, began in 1998 in Tanah Karo, a highland region of North Sumatra shaped by forests, volcanoes, and long-standing Batak traditions.
The company was founded by members of the Marga Sembiring, a Karo Batak clan whose livelihoods had always been closely tied to the surrounding forests.
At that time, opportunities for sustainable income were limited. One of the few resources with value beyond the local economy was Pasak Bumi (Tongkat Ali in Malay, Eurycoma longifolia in scientific terminology.
Within Karo culture, Pasak Bumi has long been used in jamu herbal preparations.
By the end of the 1990s, Sumatra Pasak Bumi supplied Tongkat Ali in bulk to processors in Europe.
In today's market, dominated by ever-cheaper products labeled as Tongkat Ali, Sumatra Pasak Bumi remains committed to supplying original government-approved, standardized, third-party lab-tested Tongkat Ali extracts at retail and wholesale levels. These extracts are not made more affordable through excipients, or more competitive by efficacy-neutral substitutes.
