As a modern textile manufacturing firm, Nagasakti Kurnia Textile Mills prioritises responsible and sustainable business practices at every stage of production. The company was among the first in its industry to install an in-house liquid waste management system, and continues to work with IPAL (Instalasi Pengolahan Limbah Industri) to ensure the seamless and safe handling of its byproducts. Through initiatives such as recycling its waste water to be reused during the manufacture of uniform fabrics, Nagasakti Kurnia Textile Mills complies with stringent eco-friendly standards of operation and has obtained ISO 14001:2004 certification (Environmental System Management) as evidence of this fact.
Nagasakti Kurnia Textile Mills also goes above and beyond to achieve energy efficiency within its manufacturing facilities in Bandung, West Java. In line with the Indonesian government’s goal of reducing the consumption of fuel oil, the company powers its factory through the use of two boiler machines; one producing 25 tons of steam per hour and the other tapping into a chain grade continuous feeding system with a capacity of 8 million kilocalories per hour. The implementation of this machinery stands as yet another example of Nagasakti Kurnia Textile Mills’ dedication to investing in new technology providing tangible benefits to efficiency and productivity.
In seeking to fulfill its mission of delivering products of outstanding quality in accordance with diverse customer needs and requirements, Nagasakti Kurnia Textile Mills fosters a close-knit corporate culture built upon a foundation of strong values and ideals. The company’s ability to attract and retain skilled human resources can largely be attributed to a cohesive workplace environment in which employees are encouraged to keep in mind the principles of SALT and LIGHT; each an acronym for a set of values that best define the company’s character and culture.
Through SALT, employees prioritise Security, Accountability, Leadership and Teamwork in carrying out day to day tasks. Through LIGHT, the company emphasises the importance of Leaning on God, Integrity, Guidance, Humility and Transparency in conducting business activities. With these clear guidelines in place, Nagasakti Kurnia Textile Mills’ human resources develop strong soft skills to complement technical expertise in the latest textile production techniques.
