Maklon is a process where a company (brand owner) entrusts the production of products to a third party (maklon manufacturer) to produce goods according to specified specifications. This concept allows the brand owner to focus on branding and marketing, while the maklon manufacturer handles the production and technical aspects.
Understanding and How Maklon Works
Maklon comes from the Dutch word "maakloon" which means production costs. In practice, the brand owner provides the concept or product formula, and the maklon producer is responsible for production, packaging, and managing distribution permits such as BPOM and halal certification from MUI. This process includes product consultation, formula development, sample making, mass production, packaging, and distribution.
