The Best Managed Companies program is widely regarded as a benchmark of organizational excellence for leading companies around the world.
“As a Best Managed Companies award winner, PT Mowilex Indonesia has demonstrated itself as a leading private enterprise in Indonesia—driving sustainable growth, fostering innovation, and delivering meaningful impact for its customers and employees. This recognition is a testament to excellence, underscoring PT Mowilex Indonesia’s leadership and strategic vision. We look forward to witnessing their continued success and growth in Indonesia and on the global stage,” said DIONISIUS Damijanto, Best Managed Companies Leader, Deloitte Indonesia.
Niko Safavi, CEO of PT Mowilex Indonesia emphasized that Deloitte’s recognition is not merely an affirmation of performance, but also a test that demands well-crafted strategies and business tactics.
Mowilex emphasized that this recognition serves as a reminder to stay grounded and continue striving for excellence. “We are an independent challenger in an industry dominated by large multinationals and a handful of very well-run local players. Each year, Deloitte’s process challenges us with rigorous reviews and tough questions. Rather than taking this recognition as validation, we treat it as a test — asking whether our strategies and tactics would still hold up under such scrutiny,” said Mowilex CEO, Niko Safavi.
Winners are assessed against a comprehensive framework with four pillars shaped by more than 30 years of Deloitte’s global benchmarking, namely: strategy, culture and commitment, capabilities and innovation, governance and financials. This framework encourages companies to align strong leadership with innovation and long-term value creation.
Mowilex also highlighted that the recognition is not about individual leadership alone. “This is a management award that belongs to our managers and employees. It’s their discipline, innovation, and everyday decisions that shape PT Mowilex Indonesia into what it is today. We proudly share this Gold Standard achievement with everyone who has been part of our journey,” said Niko Safavi.
