Ramadan at Pupuk Kaltim: Maintaining Operations, Nurturing Brotherhood

The atmosphere of Ramadan 1447 H within PT Pupuk Kalimantan Timur (Pupuk Kaltim) felt warm and full of togetherness. This was marked by suhoor and iftar gatherings in various operational units, aiming to strengthen the bond between management and employees, while also reaffirming the commitment to continuously build a harmonious, solid, and caring work culture.

Titled Sahur on The Spot, Pupuk Kaltim held suhoor gatherings at Plant 3, Plant 4, Plant 2, and Plant 5, as well as iftar gatherings at Plant 1A, Plant 6, and Plant 7. This series of togetherness also continued with a special agenda with the Maintenance Compartment, directly attended by the President Director along with the Board of Directors of Pupuk Kaltim and company management at each event.

This activity is more than just an annual routine agenda, amidst the relentless rhythm of industry. From the early hours of suhoor until dusk before breaking fast, Ramadan becomes a momentum to strengthen emotional ties among all Pupuk Kaltim personnel who daily maintain operational continuity.

Suhoor together in the factory area presented a different atmosphere amidst operational activities that continued to run normally. While most people were still resting, employees in the production units remained vigilant in maintaining process stability and facility reliability. The presence of management among them served as a direct form of appreciation for the dedication of employees who continued to carry out their duties at unusual hours.

Entering the afternoon, the warm atmosphere continued through iftar gatherings in a more fluid and intimate setting. There were no rigid formal barriers. All employees present, in fact, created a sense of family, mutual respect, and an awareness that the company's success stems from the contributions of every individual across all lines of work.

This shows that, behind Pupuk Kaltim's success in maintaining productivity and contribution to the national agricultural sector, there is collective hard work from all personnel who ensure that processes run safely, stably, and efficiently. Moreover, Ramadan is the right momentum to strengthen the relationship between management and employees, while also building a spirit of togetherness as the company's foundation.

"Ramadan is not just about fasting, but also a very good momentum to strengthen brotherhood, build closeness, and reaffirm the spirit of togetherness among all Pupuk Kaltim personnel," said Pupuk Kaltim President Director Gusrizal.

He said that through suhoor and iftar gatherings, Pupuk Kaltim wants to be closer to its employees, express direct appreciation, and ensure that every contribution holds great meaning for the company. Pupuk Kaltim's main strength lies not only in its production facilities and technology, but also in its human resources who serve with full dedication, professionalism, and high integrity.

"The greatest strength of Pupuk Kaltim truly lies in the people who work within it. Therefore, Ramadan becomes a momentum to reaffirm the sense of ownership, togetherness, and the spirit of mutual support as one big family," Gusrizal continued.

Gusrizal assessed that amidst increasingly dynamic industry challenges, maintaining organizational harmony is very important. The industrial world demands efficiency, speed, innovation, and high competitiveness. However, behind all that, companies must still maintain the quality of human relationships within the organization.

"When employees feel valued, heard, and are an important part of the company, then the spirit of work and collaborative loyalty will grow stronger. That is what we want to continue to build at Pupuk Kaltim," Gusrizal added.

This series of Ramadan activities also shows that Pupuk Kaltim's work culture is not only built through business achievements, but also through attention to social aspects and togetherness. In an industrial environment full of targets and operational demands, simple spaces like suhoor and iftar gatherings actually become effective means to foster closeness, strengthen communication, and maintain collective spirit.

Behind the sound of machines, production activities, and the continuous rhythm of work, Ramadan also serves as a reminder. That amidst the complexity of industrial operations, togetherness remains the main energy. There are light jokes while waiting for iftar, warm conversations at the suhoor table, and simple togetherness that leaves a deep impression on all individuals who stand tall, dedicating their best for the progress of the Company.(*)
