HR Gathering: Strategic Collaboration Tunas Group & JobStreet Indonesia

Batam, July 16, 2025 – Tunas Group, in collaboration with JobStreet by SEEK, successfully held an HR Gathering titled “Digital Recruitment Transformation & Industrial Waste Management in Batam” on Tuesday, July 16, 2025, at Hotel Santika Batam Center. The event gathered dozens of HR representatives from various tenant companies within Tunas Industrial Estate, supported by BPJS Ketenagakerjaan and Awal Bros Hospital Batam.

The HR Gathering served as a strategic forum for Batam’s industrial players to strengthen their digital recruitment transformation while building synergy in environmental management. The event featured two highly insightful sessions.

Digital Recruitment Transformation with JobStreet by SEEK

Imelda Wong, Head of Area for Jakarta and Sumatra at JobStreet by SEEK, presented how digital transformation has revolutionized recruitment processes in Indonesia. She highlighted that leveraging technology in recruitment allows HR teams to find the best talent quickly, accurately, and efficiently.

“Our collaboration with Tunas Group is a significant step to support Batam’s industrial growth by connecting companies with the right talent. We hope this HR Gathering will expand recruitment reach and provide an effective platform for better talent acquisition,” Imelda said.

She also introduced JobStreet Freemium, a free job posting solution to help companies find candidates without additional cost, alongside JobStreet’s commitment to implementing world-class AI for easier and more targeted recruitment processes. Imelda noted that Batam’s workforce is becoming more diverse due to increasing foreign investment and modern industrial growth, urging companies to adopt the latest recruitment technology to remain competitive.

The Urgency of Industrial Waste Management in Batam

The second session was delivered by Agiana Ditakristi (Dita), Director of Waste Management at Tunas Industrial, who revealed that Batam produces around 1,300 tons of waste daily (Batam Environmental Agency, 2023). However, Indonesia’s landfills are only projected to accommodate waste until 2030 (Ministry of Environment and Forestry, 2021), including Batam’s Punggur landfill which is reaching its limit. This has led to local government regulations restricting industrial waste disposal.

Dita emphasized that the accumulation of waste in TPSs can lead to a decrease in the quality of the environment, the danger of methane gas which is corrosive, plastic waste that fails to decompose in the soil and sea, and the emergence of microplastic problems that contaminate marine catches for human consumption.

She explained that industrial waste management is regulated under:

• Law No. 18/2008 on Waste Management, requiring producers to reduce and manage their waste
• Government Regulation No. 101/2014 on Hazardous Waste Management
• Ministry Regulation No. 75/2019 on Roadmap for Waste Reduction by Producers, mandating producers to reduce plastic and packaging waste.

As a compliance and innovation initiative, Tunas Industrial has become the first industrial estate in Batam to launch a centralized Industrial Waste Management program, supporting Batam City’s grand design for sustainable waste management. Dita encouraged participants to start with small actions, such as:

• Reducing single-use plastic
• Separating organic and non-organic waste
• Implementing Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (3R) practices within their companies.

“With strong collaboration between industries and the government, we can build a Batam that is not only economically advanced but also clean and environmentally friendly,” she concluded.

The interactive discussion session allowed participants to share recruitment experiences, employer branding strategies, job seeker behavior trends in Batam, and their companies’ industrial waste management practices.

Interactive Sessions with BPJS Ketenagakerjaan and Awal Bros Hospital Batam

The event continued with BPJS Ketenagakerjaan’s session on:

• Understanding regulations and contribution obligations
• New employee registration, reporting, and payment processes
• Administrative challenges and solutions
• Strategies to ensure employees understand their BPJS rights and benefits.

This session aimed to help companies provide optimal social protection for their workers while ensuring compliance with government regulations.

The final session was led by Awal Bros Hospital Batam, presenting its health service programs for companies, from regular medical check-ups and health education to integrated health services that support employee productivity. Awal Bros reaffirmed its commitment as a leading and trusted healthcare provider in Batam.

The HR Gathering concluded with group photos and lunch, fostering stronger connections among participants and building strategic collaboration to advance Batam’s industrial sector.

Grand Opening PT STANIA: Inaugurating the First Solder Factory at Tunas Prima

Batam, 10 July 2025 – PT Solder Tin Andalan Indonesia (STANIA), a subsidiary of Arsari Tambang, officially launched its first solder manufacturing plant located at Tunas Prima Industrial Estate (TPIE) in Batam today. This milestone supports Indonesia’s national mineral downstreaming agenda initiated by President Prabowo, while demonstrating Arsari Tambang’s commitment to becoming a pioneer in environmentally friendly tin-based products in Southeast Asia.

Built on a land area of 6,500 m² within the 100-hectare TPIE, a Greenmark-certified international-standard industrial estate developed with sustainability principles in every aspect, the plant’s construction was completed in less than one year since its groundbreaking in May 2024. The factory is ready to produce up to 2,000 tons of solder bars per year, with future expansion plans to include solder wire, powder, and paste production reaching a total capacity of up to 16,000 tons annually.

“This grand launching is our concrete commitment to supporting Indonesia’s downstreaming agenda while responding to global challenges in energy transition and sustainability. It marks the beginning of Arsari Tambang’s long journey towards a responsible mining industry,” said Hashim S. Djojohadikusumo, President Commissioner of Arsari Tambang.

TPIE, developed and managed by Tunas Industrial, welcomed the operational commencement of PT STANIA’s facility as further evidence of its positioning as a premier industrial hub in Batam and Indonesia. With its strategic location, integrated infrastructure, and a sustainability-focused environment, TPIE has become an investment magnet for local and multinational companies looking to expand in Southeast Asia.

Aryo P. S. Djojohadikusumo, President Director of Arsari Tambang, added, “PT STANIA is part of our vision to build a tin-based industrial ecosystem, positioning Indonesia as a major global player in the tin product supply chain. Through green technology utilization and strategic collaboration, we aim to prove that the mining industry can simultaneously champion sustainability.”

PT STANIA’s plant operates with electricity sourced entirely from PLN’s Renewable Energy Certificate (REC)-certified power, making it an emission-free facility. Its building design optimizes energy efficiency with extensive transparent roofing to maximize natural lighting and reduce electricity usage.

The inauguration was attended by Deputy Minister of Investment and Downstreaming, Todotua Pasaribu, who stated, “This plant is tangible evidence of private sector collaboration with the government’s grand vision. Downstreaming creates added value, generates employment, and enhances Indonesia’s industrial competitiveness.” Governor of Riau Islands, Ansar Ahmad, also welcomed PT STANIA’s investment as a catalyst for regional industrial transformation, technological advancement, and economic growth in Batam.

With an initial investment of IDR 400 billion, PT STANIA targets becoming one of the world’s leading solder producers, supporting Indonesia’s industrial growth while strengthening its role as Southeast Asia’s leading tin downstream hub. Its products will support electronic manufacturers in Batam and global export markets, reinforcing Indonesia’s strategic position in the international solder supply chain.
