Kediri Stoomtram Maatschappij

The Kediri Steam Tram Company was established in 1895 in Amsterdam. 

The company worked in close association with the Malang Stoomtrammaatschappij (Malang Steam Tram Company) which is evidenced by the board of managers.

The first manager was C.E. van Kesteren, supervisory directors J.K.Kempees, P.C. Huyser and A. Janssen.

The first tramlines Djombang – Pare - Kediri, Kediri - Wates and Pare - Papar were opened in 1897.

The company was liquidated in 1970.
