To foster a sense of care and togetherness among employees and the local community, Perum Jamkrindo held a series of social activities to celebrate its 47th anniversary on July 1, 2017.
On Wednesday, June 14, 2017, the President Director of Perum Jamkrindo, Diding S. Anwar, officially opened the Ramadhan 1438 H Affordable Bazaar, which took place from June 14-15, 2017. On June 16, 2017, Perum Jamkrindo also organized a donation for orphaned children at its Head Office in Jakarta.
"Through this 47th anniversary celebration of Perum Jamkrindo, we invite all employees to contribute optimally to the company by working smarter, harder, more thoroughly, and sincerely for the advancement of Perum Jamkrindo. This will bring blessings to ourselves, our families, the company, and society in general," said Diding.
The 1438 H Ramadhan Bazaar aimed to provide a platform for small and medium-sized enterprises (UMKMK) to showcase their products, so they could be promoted and recognized by the wider public, potentially reaching international markets.
“Perum Jamkrindo's participation in the progress of UMKMK is a manifestation of the company’s mission to support the development of the national economy," Diding added.
The bazaar featured everyday products such as food and clothing that are essential for the community, especially leading up to the Idul Fitri holiday.
