President Director Speech
Our current journey began in 1952 when our parents, Hadji Kalla and Hajjah Athirah, started their pioneering business in textile and agricultural products trading in Watampone district, South Sulawesi. Slowly but surely, our line of business is expanding into Non-Textile businesses such as general trading of imports and exports to automotive under the name of NV.Hadji Kalla.
Currently, Kalla is involved in various business fields under the banner of the Kalla Group of Companies, and is one of the largest business groups in Eastern Indonesia, with centralized business control in the city of Makassar. The core business fields include automotive, transportation-logistics, property, construction, manufacturing and energy.
