JAKARTA - Special Staff III of the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Arya Sinulingga inaugurated a crossing machine at the Api Gambir Train Station. This step, he said, is a commitment of SOEs in supporting Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to market their products.

Previously, the same vortex machine was also inaugurated at Gondangdia Station.

This Vending Machine operates automatically and can be used 24 hours full. Its products from MSMEs can be sold directly to consumers. Train passengers or people who are at the station can buy MSME products at any time. This is in accordance with Minister Erick's direction who wants to provide wider market access for MSMEs, especially in crowded and strategic locations such as at train stations, "explained Arya at Gambir Station, Monday, January 22.

He added that the installation of a vortex machine is a collaboration between MSMEs and SOEs. The placement of averse machine in the station area is supported by PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) as the station manager.

Meanwhile, the management and operations of the vending machine are fully supported by PLN (Gambir Station) and Pertamina (Gondangdia Station). Previously, a versioning machine had been installed at the Ministry of SOEs which was fully supported by BRI.

Arya said, fighting machine is the answer to complaints from MSMEs in product marketing. Erick Thohir's breakthrough is an alternative solution for MSME players with the aim of increasing awareness, achieving broad market targets, and strengthening production showcase more efficiently.

"This is the hope of MSMEs to Mr. Erick 'Please employees of SOEs to buy MSME products' but if we force it, it's not allowed, that's why we prepare a preventive machine. Hopefully, we can help MSMEs," Arya continued.

The inauguration of the MSME Vending Machine this time was also attended by Pertamina's Corporate Secretary, Brahmantya Satyamurti Poerwadi, General Manager of PLN UID Jakarta Raya, Lasiran and EVP of Corporate Secretary KAI R. Agus Dwinanto Budiadji.
