Three halal certifications for retail goods delivery services have\nbeen successfully obtained by this PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI)\nsubsidiary in the logistics sector. These certifications are\nspecifically granted to the Kalog Express service at three distribution\npoints with massive goods flow: Kalog Express Service Point Jakarta\nGudang, Semarang Poncol, and Surabaya Kota.<\/p>\n
This initiative opens a new phase in elevating retail service\nstandards, focusing on product safety throughout the distribution\nprocess.<\/p>\n
KAI Logistik (Kalog) President Director Yuskal Setiawan explained on\nFriday (2\/4) that this accomplishment represents a tangible\nmanifestation of the company\u2019s efforts to provide legal and operational\ncertainty for goods owners amid increasingly competitive industry\ndynamics.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis certification is not merely an administrative fulfilment but a\nprofound commitment to building stronger market trust, particularly for\nsensitive sectors that rely on the integrity of distribution processes\nto maintain their product quality comprehensively,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
According to Yuskal, the expansion to retail services is part of the\ncompany\u2019s roadmap, following previous certifications applied to\ncontainer services at several logistics terminals. Through the Sungai\nLagoa, Klari, Kalimas, and Ronggowarsito terminals, which are already\ncertified. The company is now consistently expanding the scope of halal\nguarantees to the segment of small goods delivery with massive turnover\nvolumes, to create a holistic and trusted logistics ecosystem.<\/p>\n
CONCRETE SOLUTION<\/p>\n
The presence of this halal-certified retail service is also\npositioned as a concrete solution for micro, small, and medium\nenterprises (UMKM) in facing the mandatory halal deadline in October\n2026. Based on the mandate of Law No.\u00a033 of 2014 on Halal Product\nAssurance and Government Regulation No.\u00a039 of 2021.<\/p>\n
\u201cVarious commodities, from food and beverages to traditional\nmedicines, are required to have halal assurance. We are ready to ensure\nthat the distribution chain does not become a weak point for UMKM in\nmeeting these government standards,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Yuskal noted that the certificate numbered ID00410018283070424 was\nofficially issued on 11 March 2026, after undergoing a series of\nrigorous audits by the Halal Inspection Agency (LPH) PT Sucofindo. The\naudit process, which took place at the end of February 2026, included\nin-depth examinations of the implementation of the Halal Product\nAssurance System (SJPH), handling procedures for materials, to cleaning\nand purification facilities in retail services. This comprehensive\noversight ensures that every operational process in the field is aligned\nwith applicable principles and rules.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn daily implementation, we apply very strict separation standards\nto prevent cross-contamination with regular goods or animal shipments.\nEvery package registered in the halal category is given a special label\nidentity that allows it to be grouped exclusively in designated storage\nareas. These goods are placed on pallets lined with clean tarpaulin and\nprotected with additional tarpaulin covers to maintain product sterility\nduring transit and travel,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
INITIAL LOCATIONS<\/p>\n
Yuskal added that Jakarta, Semarang, and Surabaya were chosen as\ninitial locations due to their high distribution activity and important\nroles as major logistics hubs on Java Island.<\/p>\n
With the presence of halal-certified services at these points, the\ncompany hopes to encourage the growth of the sharia economy in the\nsurrounding areas, while providing added value for increasingly\nselective customers in choosing logistics partners.<\/p>\n
Looking ahead, the company is committed to continuing evaluations and\nexpanding the reach of halal-certified services to other distribution\npoints, in line with evolving customer needs.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis effort is part of the company\u2019s vision to deliver logistics\nservices that excel not only in timeliness and cost efficiency but also\nguarantee quality and provide peace of mind for all customers, aligned\nwith sustainable and value-added service principles,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/this-state-owned-logistics-company-secures-halal-certification-at-three-major-retail-distribution-points-1775268597", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
