PT Hanjaya Mandala Sampoerna Tbk. (: HMSP) is an Indonesian tobacco company. Sampoerna is one of the largest Indonesian tobacco company, ahead of Bentoel Group and Nojorono. It produces kretek-type clove cigarettes. Its most popular brand is Sampoerna 'A' Mild, a filter cigarette in white paper. Sampoerna reported 2006 net sales of 29.55 trillion rupiah (approximately $3.22bn using the February 22, 2008 exchange rate) resulting in 3.53 trillion rupiah net income.
In May, 2005, Philip Morris International, at that time a subsidiary of the Altria Group, completed the acquisition of 97.95% of the company. Sampoerna reported 2006 net sales of 29.55 trillion rupiah (approximately $3.22bn using the February 22, 2008 exchange rate) resulting in 3.53 trillion rupiah net income. A block of approximately 40% of the outstanding stock was sold by the controlling Sampoerna family, especially by Putera Sampoerna, and other insiders in a negotiated transaction and the remaining shares were purchased in a tender offer. The series of transactions valued the company at approximately $5.2 billion. The investment in Sampoerna represented a strategic move for Altria. Philip Morris International was spun off from Altria in 2008. Although Marlboro is the most popular Western-style (non kretek cigarette), most Indonesians still smoke kretek cigarettes.
