BELITUNG - To support local economic growth and help micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to develop, PT Timah once again distributed assistance to business actors in Belitung Regency.
PT Timah handed over assistance to Genious Snack and Cookies to support the increase in production and development of this culinary business.
Genious Snack and Cookies received production equipment such as ovens, mixers and bread dough tables or Dough tables. This assistance was handed over to the owner of Genious Snack and Cookies, Erwin some time ago.
Erwin said that his business has been established since 2019 which produces various food products such as sweet bread, pizza, burgers, baulu cakes, pastries and also various kinds of Eid snacks.
“Alhamdullilah, yesterday's assistance from PT Timah included an oven, mixer and bread dough table or dough table, among all of these, this dough table is one of the most urgent needs. Meanwhile, for the mixer, what we currently have is a small capacity, while our production needs are quite high, so this is also one of the factors that our production is rather slow,” said Erwin.
Genious Snack and Cookies, which is located at Jalan Akil Ali, RT 47, RW 19, Pangkal Lalang, Tanjung Pandan, Belitung Regency, had experienced difficulties in production, because with limited equipment and the age of the equipment, they were unable to keep up with market demand.
“I was overwhelmed when orders were high, because the equipment was not in a good condition, where the oven had started to break down, the body was porous, and the small mixer slowed down the production speed,” he said.
He said that with the assistance from PT Timah, they could increase production and also increase the workforce. With the new production equipment, he also plans to expand his production house.
Erwin also hopes that in the future he can continue to be involved by PT Timah, so that his business can grow, and PT Timah can also help other MSME players.
In the future, he also hopes that PT Timah can help them to participate in exhibitions so that they can add insight into entrepreneurship to develop their business.
“I am very happy with the support from PT Timah, frankly I also did not expect to get help from PT Timah. Thank you PT Timah, hopefully it will be given blessings, safety and can also benefit other MSME players,” he hoped.
