In the spirit of strengthening ties after the celebration of Eid al-Fitr 1446 H / 2025 AD, PT Manunggal Perkasa Cilacap held a Customer Gathering and Eid Gathering (Halal bi Halal) with its customers, who are Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) from the regions of Banjarnegara, Purbalingga, Purwokerto, Cilacap, Kebumen, and Wonosobo.
The event, held at The Village Baturraden, was attended by hundreds of MSME players from various business sectors, ranging from bread producers, traditional cakes, noodles, to regional snacks. In an atmosphere filled with togetherness, the event served as a platform to share stories, exchange business experiences, and directly express aspirations to the company.
Mr. Ir. H. Zubaedi Ahyar, Marketing Manager of PT Manunggal Perkasa, took the opportunity to provide brief education on how to utilize the advancements in information technology to positively impact the sustainability of MSMEs, particularly in facing today’s economic conditions. Through an interactive Q&A format, MSMEs were able to express the problems and challenges they have faced in running their businesses.
Meanwhile, Mr. Hariyatno, Customer Service Manager of PT Manunggal Perkasa’s Baking Division, expressed his gratitude and high appreciation to the MSME players for their trust and partnership thus far. “We realize that MSMEs are the backbone of the regional economy. We don’t just want to be a raw material supplier, but also a partner that grows and thrives together,” he said.
Several MSME representatives were also given the opportunity to present their experiences in managing their businesses to the point of growth and sustainability. One of the participants, Mrs. Waridah from Cilacap, who runs a chicken noodle (mie ayam) MSME, expressed her happiness in attending the event. “I am very happy to meet the company representatives and fellow business owners in person. I hope events like this can be held regularly so we can continue to learn and grow,” she said.
The highlight of the event was a religious sermon (tausiyah) delivered by Kyai Haji Abdurrozak from Sokaraja, Banyumas, who emphasized the importance of maintaining strong social bonds. With the success of this event, it is hoped that the relationship between the company and MSMEs will grow even stronger—not only in a business context, but also in building a supportive and sustainable local economic ecosystem. The event concluded with joint prayers, mutual greetings and forgiveness, and a renewed commitment to continued harmonious cooperation for mutual progress.(pj/mkt)
