KAI Logistik Secures Halal Certification for Retail Services

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com — KAI Logistik is further strengthening its role in the national halal supply chain by obtaining halal certification for its retail goods delivery services. This certification is specifically granted to the KALOG Express service at three major high-volume distribution points: Service Point KALOG Express Jakarta Gudang, Semarang Poncol, and Surabaya Kota. This step marks a new phase in elevating the company’s retail service standards, with a focus on guaranteeing product safety throughout the distribution process. Managing Director of KAI Logistik, Yuskal Setiawan, explained that this achievement is part of the company’s efforts to provide legal and operational certainty for shippers amid the increasingly competitive dynamics of the logistics industry. “This certification is not merely an administrative fulfilment, but a deep commitment to building stronger market trust, especially for sensitive sectors that rely on the integrity of distribution processes to maintain their products’ overall quality,” Yuskal stated in an official release on Thursday (9/4/2026). The expansion of halal certification to retail services is part of the company’s roadmap. With this expansion, the company is targeting the segment of small-scale goods shipments with high turnover volumes. This step is considered important in creating a more holistic and integrated halal logistics ecosystem. KAI Logistik views halal-certified retail services as a concrete solution for micro, small, and medium enterprises (UMKM), particularly in facing the halal certification obligation deadline that will apply in October 2026. In this regard, the distribution aspect becomes one of the important links that must meet those standards. KAI Logistik is present to ensure that the distribution process does not become a weak point in fulfilling those obligations, especially for UMKM that are striving to adapt to the regulations. Technically, the halal certificate obtained by the company bears the number ID00410018283070424. The certificate was officially issued on 11 March 2026 after undergoing an audit process by the Halal Inspection Agency (LPH) PT Sucofindo.
