JAKARTA - PT AKR Corporindo Tbk recorded performance growth in the third quarter of 2021. The net profit of the company owned by conglomerate Soegiarto Adikoesoemo grew by 20 percent year on year (YoY) in the first nine months of this year.
The Java Integrated Industrial and Port Estate (JIIPE) Gresik Special Economic Zone (SEZ) is one of the pillars of the company's performance growth. Citing the company's official website, Wednesday, October 27, the issuer with the stock code of AKRA recorded a net profit attributable to the parent entity of IDR 797 billion in the third quarter of 2021.

President Director of AKRA, Haryanto Adikoesoemo, explained that the company's performance growth was supported by the increase in sales volume and rising commodity prices.

"The company continues to maintain margins and control expenses, increase productivity, and keep net gearing at a low level", he explained.
