PT. Jatim Taman Steel Mfg. (JTS), the place where I work now, was established in 1971. It’s the only special steel manufacturer in Southeast Asia, producing billets, flat bars and round bars. Currently it has 2 plants located in Sidoarjo and Gresik Regency, East Java Province, Indonesia. This company has a vision to become a leading special steel manufacturer offering the best quality in its field, with highly committed and reliable people, and one that also cares about the environment. This vision, realized in the form of products certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and JIS G 4501, G 4052 and G 4053, is also supported by sophisticated inspection/testing tools and an advanced traceability system integrated into the production management system. The employees have well-developed hard and soft skills through on-the-job training and classroom training that supports the regeneration and acquisition of multi-skills in the company.

The spirit of JTS millennials and me

I joined JTS in September 2017 and my current position is on the Organization Development Staff. I started my career here as a training officer and learned a lot about how to manage human resource competencies in a manufacturing company. Not only managing the employee training program, I am also assigned to form a community for the younger employees (“millennials”) known as STEEL WARRIORS. We took the name STEEL from the JTS Core Values (Safety, Technology, Excellence, Ethics, Resilience) while WARRIORS describes our spirit. The main purpose is to make the work environment more pleasant and to increase productivity. Since its formation in 2019, we have engaged in activities like Jamboree #1 and #2 band contests, camping, outbound activity and also have been given responsibility for handling major company activities, such as the Planning Cycle. Mr. Hiroshi Sekine, former president director, even played the drums on one occasion.
Steel News carries news about COVID-19.

      The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 was really a big blow for us, because not only did orders fall drastically but also our work spirit. This drives us to create motivational activities to increase employee morale. STEEL HAPPY, a play on the words “steel,” as in our company name, and “still” is an online event comprising various competitions between departments/sections. These activities have a big impact on employee optimism and spirit, enabling them to survive the stressful work conditions and “still be happy.” STEEL HAPPY indirectly gives vision to employees so that they still have hope that JTS will be able to get through the pandemic and achieve success. In addition, we also publish the weekly Steel News bulletin to educate employees about COVID-19. The pandemic remains but our production is now skyrocketing. My heartfelt thanks to the management of PT. Jatim Taman Steel Mfg. and colleagues who support us always. I am proud to be part of this company.

Shanghai, the center of the Chinese economy, where tradition and modernity coexist
Shanghai, the center of the Chinese economy, where tradition and modernity coexist
Shanghai is a world-famous metropolis in China. As an important financial and shipping center, it is the only city in China that integrates the research and development of marine engineering, manufacturing, verification testing and port machinery construction that attracts many shipyards, marine equipment factories and shipping companies to take root here. Opportunities abound here, as well as challenges and competition. I love this city, not only its culture and beauty, but also because my favorite job, colleagues, friends, and my lovely family are here.

RyokaーBusiness card and bond

As a subsidiary of MKK, Ryoka was established in 2008. With the expansion of MKK’s oil purifier sales business, to provide local customers with better service and to improve the market share in China, Mr. Zhou and I joined Ryoka in 2018. We are responsible for technical support in the whole oil purifier sales process. Both of us have work experience in machinery design in a large Chinese shipyard, which makes us skilled at technical negotiations and presentation, and equipment commissioning. Since we joined, the company's business has made great strides.
      To respond to global environmental responsibilities and to IMO requirements, MKK has developed a SOX scrubber system and water treatment system. MKK also focuses on new energy, promoting the development of hydrogen-related equipment and engineering system solutions. Related projects have been put into operation in Japan.
      China has already committed to peak carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and to achieve carbon neutrality before 2060, and our products will provide corresponding solutions for the problems at related stages in the future.
      In addition to oil purifier sales, Ryoka develops spare part sales for SJ, chemical machinery and hydrogenation station equipment. These businesses are mainly managed by Ms. Jin and Ms. Tao. As the China local team, Ryoka supports the whole business chain which includes sales, engineering, procurement, and service & commissioning. Not just a business card for MKK to present its corporate image and technical capabilities to the Chinese market, Ryoka also is an indispensable bond that maintains the cordial relationship between MKK and Chinese customers.

Exhibitions broaden vision

Making the most of exhibitions
Chinese industry has advanced by leaps and bounds in recent years, the national policy and government direction changing rapidly. Accordingly, there are many kinds of exhibitions and forums for different industries held in Shanghai every year. These include the CIIE, a hydrogen-related exhibition, the LNG Equipment Exhibition and the China Maritime Exhibition, which provide good opportunities to exchange information on industry products, to promote MKK’s products and to introduce ourselves. We have taken part in many exhibitions as exhibitors, introducers, even as the audience. We actively grasp the market dynamics and recent product trends and rise to the market challenge.
