JAKARTA - The Ministry of Industry is proactive in monitoring the activities of the industrial sector which operates 100 percent during the implementation of the Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM). This effort is also to ensure the implementation of health protocols in a strict and disciplined manner.

"Some time ago, we had a working visit in Central Java to monitor a number of industrial sectors that were categorized as essential," said Director General of Chemical, Pharmaceutical and Textile Industry (IKFT) Muhammad Khayam in Jakarta, Tuesday (28/9).

The Director General of IKFT said that the companies being reviewed were PT Globalindo Intimates (GI) in Klaten Regency as the garment industry and PT Always Cinta Indonesia (SCI) in Salatiga representing the footwear industry.

According to Khayam, the two companies acknowledged that the existence of a 100 percent industrial operational policy was very appropriate and beneficial because they were increasing their productivity to meet the needs of the export market, especially in Europe and America.

Therefore, both companies will increase the number of workers. “The current number of PT GI's workforce is 3,800 people, and will be increased to more than 6,000 people. Meanwhile, PT SCI will increase its workforce to 9,000 people from the existing 5,400 people," he said. (LM)
