“We highly appreciate this opportunity to cooperate with RJM. This is not only an appreciation for the company's commitment to operate in a responsible manner but also an encouragement for CK to continue to maintain the quality of the company. The initiative and breakthrough we undertake will eventually serve to maximize the performance and advantage of our partners,” he stated.

Commenting on the CK and RJM contract, President Director of ABM Investama Andi Djajanegara said, “This new contract with RJM will add and expand CK and ABM’s operational reach to Sumatra to support and carry forward diversification in CK’s operational locations, which are currently concentrated in Kalimantan.”
