Indramayu, February 23, 2026 – PT Polytama Propindo (Polytama), a leading polypropylene resin producer in Indonesia, continues to expand collaborative synergies to deliver sustained value to the region. As a key contributor to the national petrochemical industry, Polytama consistently reinforces its strategic role in supporting both regional and national economic growth.
Polytama’s Finance & Business Development General Manager, Muhammat Slamet, emphasized that collaboration with various stakeholders, including Bank Indonesia, is a crucial part of the company’s strategy to grow sustainably and create value.
“Synergy between economic authorities and industry players is expected to strengthen the national industrial ecosystem while fostering a conducive investment climate for sustainable manufacturing sector development,” said Muhammat Slamet during a presentation while receiving a visit from Bank Indonesia’s West Java Provincial Representative Office and Cirebon Office at Polytama’s plant site.
The agenda served as a forum for discussion and deeper insights into the petrochemical industry conditions in West Java. The visit is part of Bank Indonesia Cirebon’s annual program. However, this year’s visit was particularly significant as it was expanded for the first time to include the provincial team, enabling a more comprehensive understanding of the petrochemical industry dynamics.
During the discussion session, Muhammat Slamet presented the company’s performance, business strategies, and expansion project plans, including its contributions through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs in the Indramayu area. He explained that all developments are carried out with due consideration to regulatory compliance, infrastructure readiness, and stakeholder support.
Polytama remains committed to playing an active role in driving regional economic growth, particularly in Indramayu and West Java. Each expansion initiative is carefully planned and executed in a measured and sustainable manner. Through strong collaboration, Polytama is optimistic about continuing to deliver tangible contributions to the growth of the petrochemical industry and the national economy.
On this occasion, the Bank Indonesia delegation also participated in a plant tour to directly observe polypropylene production facilities. From upstream to downstream, participants gained a comprehensive overview of operational processes and occupational safety standards implemented by Polytama. Through this field visit, Bank Indonesia gained firsthand insights into Polytama’s production capabilities and its contribution to supporting the national petrochemical supply chain.
Head of Bank Indonesia Cirebon Representative Office, Wihujeng Ayu Rengganis, stated that the manufacturing sector is a key contributor to West Java’s economic growth. In the fourth quarter, growth reached 5.58 percent, exceeding expectations. Therefore, direct engagement with industry players is essential to obtain on-the-ground insights for quarterly assessments and the formulation of economic policies at both regional and national levels.
Meanwhile, Deputy Director of Bank Indonesia West Java Representative Office, Cecep Ridwan, added that such visits help enrich the monetary authority’s perspective in formulating policies based on real industry conditions. “Through dialogues and field visits like this, we gain a more comprehensive understanding of industry developments, enabling us to strengthen policy formulation that supports sustainable economic growth,” he stated.
Previously, Bank Indonesia identified Polytama as one of the catalysts for economic growth in Indramayu. The company’s investments are seen as strengthening the strategic industrial ecosystem in the Ciayumajakuning area. Beyond increasing production capacity, these investments also generate multiplier effects across other sectors, including local service providers, contractors, and supporting MSMEs, thereby delivering tangible benefits to the community.
Separately, Director of PT Polytama Propindo, Dwinanto Kurniawan, affirmed the company’s commitment to actively contributing to regional economic development. Polytama continues to implement CSR programs focused on skills development, MSME empowerment, and strengthening community capacity.
With this approach, Polytama is considered to be strengthening Indramayu’s position as a strategic industrial hub in West Java. The company’s presence and expansion ensure sustainable regional economic growth, in line with national industrial priorities. Synergy between monetary authorities and industry players is expected to further reinforce the national manufacturing ecosystem.
“Polytama is optimistic about delivering tangible contributions to the growth of the petrochemical industry and Indonesia’s economy through strong collaboration and sustainable investment,” concluded Dwinanto.
