RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - What began as a simple love for tempeh has evolved into a story of innovation, entrepreneurship, and cultural identity.
Founded in Boston in 2020 by Indonesian couples Daniel Kurnianto and Meylia Handayani Tio, together with Octavianus Asoka and Aristiya Dwiyanti, BOStempeh has transformed from a home‑based experiment into a factory‑scale producer in Somersworth, New Hampshire.
The founders combined years of research, mentorship from Surabaya tempeh maker Soetono Liem, and modern technology to deliver consistently high‑quality tempeh across the United States.
Daniel’s expertise in manufacturing and design led to the integration of IoT‑based monitoring systems that ensure stable fermentation and hygiene standards, while Meylia and Aristiya strengthened the brand’s outreach and identity.
Their slogan, “BOStempeh brings Indonesia to the United States,” reflects both cultural pride and ambition. By 2025, the company had shipped around 15,000 packs of tempeh, each weighing 200 grams, nationwide, reaching Indonesian expatriates and American consumers alike.
Customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising BOStempeh’s freshness and flavor. Beyond sales, the founders actively participate in cultural bazaars and events, using tempeh as a gateway to introduce Indonesia’s heritage.
Meylia emphasizes strict compliance with US regulations, noting that their reputation reflects directly on Indonesia.
For the founders, BOStempeh is more than a business -- it is a fusion of tradition and modern innovation, sustaining their community abroad while strengthening Indonesia’s image globally. ***
