PT Wijaya Karya (Persero) Tbk (WIKA) received an appreciation in the Top 3 BUMN category with the largest MSME product shopping transaction during 2023 at the Inabuyer Awards 2024, which is part of the Inabuyer B2B2G Expo 2024.
The appreciation was given for the achievement of the realization of transactions utilizing PaDi UMKM worth Rp4 Trillion and ranked 3rd largest of all SOEs.
The award was handed over directly by the Minister of Cooperatives and SMEs, Teten Masduki to WIKA's Senior Vice President of Supply Chain Management (SCM) Division, Puspita Anggraeni, which took place at the Jakarta SMESCO Building, on Friday (17/5).
Puspita revealed that this appreciation is the result of WIKA's consistency in empowering MSMEs as their captive market, including those around the company's operating area. Moreover, PaDi UMKM itself has become a medium to bring together the Company with business actors so that MSE products can be maximally accessed.
“For WIKA, the use of PaDi UMKM is also a form of digitalization in the procurement process that has been carried out over the past few years and will continue to be carried out in the coming years. This digitalization step is also a concrete form of the governance strengthening program of the 8 stream restructuring methods that are being carried out by the Company,” explained Puspita.
Organized since 2023, Inabuyer B2B2G Expo 2024 is the largest B2B2G exhibition organized by the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs and aims to be a platform for businesses to increase sales, establish partnerships, and expand networks.
