Paul BOON

Chief Executive Officer / President

Paul, a University of Michigan alumnus, holds a master's degree in Industrial and Operations Engineering. He initially began his professional career in the banking and finance sector but later decided to venture into the hydraulic cylinder industry. In 2004, Paul, along with two associates, founded PT. United Hydraulic Technology, which is based in Balikpapan, Indonesia.

After eight years, Paul took on a new challenge and became a pioneer in expanding Akaliko, his company, beyond the borders of Indonesia. He established Akaliko's first international branch in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Since then, with his astute guidance, Akaliko has made a significant impact worldwide, establishing a presence across all continents.

While Paul has achieved great success in the hydraulic cylinder industry, his accomplishments go beyond his professional endeavors. He takes immense satisfaction in fostering a diverse and multicultural team that reflects the international presence of his companies. This emphasis on diversity and inclusivity is important to him.

Outside of the corporate world, Paul has other interests and hobbies. He is an avid golfer, finding enjoyment and relaxation on the golf course. Additionally, he is a passionate downhill skier, immersing himself in the exhilaration of speeding down snowy slopes.

Paul's varied experiences and achievements demonstrate his entrepreneurial spirit, his dedication to creating a global presence for his companies, and his commitment to embracing diversity.
