Karmakamet originated from the migration of the Chinese in 1930 to the south of the Golden Peninsula. Along with the journey, the first generation of the family had brought with them the knowledge in Chinese medicine and traditional incense making method. From then on, the family had sold Chinese medicine and incense for living and became Karmakamet in 1971. In 2001, the first Karmakamet store was opened and has been expanded since.
