Petrokimia Gresik Employee Innovation Generates Rp 222 Billion in Economic Value

Innovations developed by employees of PT Petrokimia Gresik have created significant economic value for the company. Through the 2026 Petrokimia Gresik Innovation Convention (KIPG), various innovations originating from company personnel yielded a direct financial benefit of Rp 68 billion and value creation of Rp 154 billion.

KIPG 2026 marked a special milestone, celebrating 40 years of the innovation programme as a platform for fostering a culture of innovation that continues to strengthen the business competitiveness and sustainability of Petrokimia Gresik, an agro-industry solutions company and member of the Pupuk Indonesia holding.

Over four decades, KIPG has served as a driving force behind numerous innovations that have contributed to improvements in efficiency, productivity, and operational reliability, as well as reinforcing Petrokimia Gresik’s role in supporting national food security.

President Director of Petrokimia Gresik, Daconi Khotob, stated that the 40-year continuity of KIPG demonstrates the company’s commitment to building a strong and sustainable innovation culture. “The culture of innovation at Petrokimia Gresik continues to grow and develop positively. The high level of employee involvement in innovation reflects that thinking creatively, making improvements, and contributing have become integral parts of our work culture,” he said during the opening of KIPG 2026 in Gresik on Saturday (13/6/2026).

This strong innovation culture is reflected in the steadily increasing employee participation. While involvement reached 95 percent in 2024, it rose to 97 percent in 2025 and climbed further to 98 percent in KIPG 2026. This participation also includes Band I and Band II officials, demonstrating robust support for innovation across all levels of the organisation.

According to Daconi, these achievements prove that innovation not only generates new ideas but also creates measurable added value for the company. “The people of Petrokimia Gresik understand the importance of innovation for the company, particularly in carrying out the mandate of distributing subsidised fertilisers to achieve national food self-sufficiency. This contribution proves that every idea can develop into a solution that has a significant impact on the company’s performance and competitiveness,” he said.
