From there, Marsudi chose to stop working and explore the business opportunities of the machinery industry.He then ran a business at the end of 2014. When he first opened a business, he only ran a brokerage business.In 2016, Marsudi began to move locations in Gagak Sipat, a location that is currently used for the operations of PT Gatraco Inti Semesta.Also Read: Nasrafa Solo Painting Fabric: Favored by Local Markets, Increasingly Selling in Global MarketsWith a personal capital of Rp100 million, Marsudi was only able to hire two workers.From there his business journey began.“Initially three, including me.But now there are 10 technicians and many of them are from SMK.There are also practical students," he said in his office, Tuesday (23/8/2022).Marsudi said that currently PT Gatraco is focusing on the production of machine sets and spare parts in the form of fabrication parts, injection molding, mechanical parts, mass production and mold parts.Not only that, they also serve certain spare part orders according to buyer's request.In a year, Gatraco is able to produce five to six machine sets.This amount has not been able to meet consumer demand.This can not be separated from the limited number of technicians and production space capacity.Apart from that, product quality is a top priority.He prefers the production of a little but with maximum quality compared to the amount of production with a lot but the quality decreases."The machines per batch range from five to six machines because our capacity is just that much.Quality must really be maintained,” added Marsudi.Also read: 2022 UMKM Expedition: The Story of the Struggle of the Girilayu Batik Craftsmen in KaranganyarIn reaching the local market, Gatraco is able to reach customers of large factories such as PT Gudang Garam Tbk, PT Djarum, and PT Norojono as customers for manufacturing cigarette packing machines, both spare parts and even machine sets.Not only that, Gatraco is also able to reach several other companies such as PT Mutu Gading Textile Karanganyar, PT Deltan Merlin Sandang Sragen, PT Tiga Pilar Sejahtera Sragen, CPM Holcim Ponorogo, CV Solo Sinergi Sejahtera, and CV Tritunggal Abadi Solo."Our workshop segmentation has been consistent until now, which is manufacturing that supports the manufacture of spare parts for cigarette packing machines, both spare parts and machine sets," he said.In 2021, Gatraco will start exploring the export business.The six engine sets they produced that year were for the first time exported to Turkey.Meanwhile, Marsudi is targeting all production of Gatraco machine sets to be sold through export channels.“[In] 2021 the six machines that we produce happen to be exported to Turkey.The target is [export], first," he explained with a laugh.Also Read: 2022 MSME Expedition: Exploring Inspiration from 12 Tough SMEs in Central JavaNot only that, currently Gatraco is expanding its production area and offices in the same location.The addition of production of other larger engine variants is also one of the closest targets.“Another bigger engine variant.On progress, we just started one set," he explained.The YDBA Solo Branch Coordinator, Dimas Wahyu Ashari, said that Gatraco has joined YDBA's support since 2019 and is the oldest SME under YDBA's guidance.YDBA selects SMEs with machinery manufacturing and has been running for at least one year.But basically, Dimas added, the main goal is to continue to improve marketing so that the turnover graph continues to increase.There are four programs that are managed and become the focus of YDBS, namely training, mentoring, market facilities, and financing facilities.Gatraco's economic circulation is considered independent because all of Gatraco's capital comes from Marsudi's personal money.Therefore, they do not have access to financing facility services.Also Read: The Boyolali Library Painting Exchange Sells Works Starting at IDR 500,000, Let's Buy ItEven so, YDBA plays a role in the training and mentoring side behind Gatraco's economic independence."Currently, in collaboration with Gatraco, he is involved in training and marketing. One more is there is assistance," he said.Gatraco has also received training and assistance from the Solo Business Development Institution (LPB).Not only that, YDBA assessed that the results of Gatraco's independence assessment based on the three pillars of YDBA's independence assessment were of good value."The YDBA independence assessment has three pillars, all of which have good grades and the goal is to become a YDBA Independent IKM," said Dimas.According to him, there are several reasons why YDBA is targeting Gatraco.Among them, Gatraco is considered to have a commitment to learning about management which has been conveyed by the YDBA instructor.Gatraco is considered capable of applying the provisions provided by YDBA such as non-profit activities.Gatraco collaborates with the vocational world, both from vocational schools or vocational training institutions to become trainers with a teaching factory system.“Having a commitment to still want to learn, especially the management lessons shared by several YDBA instructors.The indicator is that [Gatraco] wants to be present when invited to a training event and also applies what has been taught from one training agenda to the next," he said.Check other News and Articles on Google NewsCheck out various selected and latest news from Solopos.com in the Telegram Group "Solopos.com Latest News".Click the link https://t.me/soloposdotcom then join.Make sure you have the Telegram application installed on your phone.Pevita Pearce will play a female super hero (hero) Sri Asih in the Sri Asih film in the near future.Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo participated in enlivening the Pengging Fair in Banyudono District, Boyolali, Friday (9/9/2022).A total of 16 people have complained to the Boyolali Bawaslu and the Boyolali KPU because their names are included in the Political Party Information System (Sipol) as members of a political party.A sad story as well as a dilemma is often experienced by city transportation (angkot) drivers on the Sukoharjo-Wonogiri route who continue to operate during the difficult times of the Covid-19 pandemic.Raden Mas Said (RM Said) alias Prince Sambernyawa is the founder of Wonogiri Regency.Blangkon Festival 2022 displays various types of Solo style blangkon but the most popular are virgins who are believed to make the wearer more authoritative.The Covid-19 pandemic two years ago caused the drivers of urban transportation (angkot) in Sukoharjo to completely collapse until the fleet was torn apart because it was damaged and unused for long.Child singer from Banyuwangi, Farel Prayoga, added to the list of artists besides Denny Caknan, Happy Asmara, and Abah Lala who will enliven Gebyar Sekaten at the Solo Palace.There are only five to six fleets of city transportation drivers (angkot) on the Sukoharjo-Wonogiri route.Previously their number reached 60-70 fleets.This happened because of the pandemic and rising fuel prices.The fatal accident that caused the death of a resident of Connectmacan, Sragen, was allegedly due to the driver of the pickup losing concentration.The Solo Transportation Service will coordinate with the Sukoharjo Transportation Agency to test the strength and feasibility of the Sesek bridge as an alternative when the Mojo Bridge is closed.The Sukoharjo Police collaborated with the TNI and several elements of students to distribute social assistance to the Sukoharjo community with a total of 1,000 food packages.Productive agricultural areas are considered threatened with disruption by the PT Alexis Perdana Mineral (APM) Gold Mining plan in the Randu Kuning Block, Jendi, Selogiri, Wonogiri.Five members of the Solo DPRD FPKS left the plenary meeting that had just begun to take part in a demonstration at the Gladak Roundabout, Friday (9/9/2022).A motorcycle rider from Connectmacan, Sragen, died, Friday (9/9/2022) afternoon, after being involved in an accident with a Daihatsu Pikap on the Sragen-Ngawi highway.The chairman of the Sragen Democratic Party said that the provision of BLT had not been effective in overcoming the economic problems of the lower class citizens due to the imposition of fuel prices.In fact, the poverty rate in Sragen will increase due to the soaring fuel price.Copyright © 2007-2022, Solopos Digital Media - Information & Inspiration Guide.All rights reserved.
