History

The history of Socfindo began with a Belgian agronomist named Adrien Hallet (1867-1925) who moved to the island of Sumatra in Indonesia in 1905, where he dedicated himself to opening new plantations, initially focusing exclusively on rubber cultivation. Observing the effects of improved local conditions on oil palm yields and productivity, he soon began planting and before long the first commercial oil palm plantation in the Deli region of Sumatra was born. His pioneering spirit is visualized in the Group through his motto: 'One can do nothing without anything, but one can do a lot with a little.'
