PT Industrial Engineering inaugurated the first piling piling projects Ammonium Nitrate in the industrial area of PT Kaltim Industrial Estate (KIE), Bontang, East Kalimantan.  “When the ammonium nitrate plant was later operated, Indonesia would have the largest ammonium nitrate factory in Asia. That means, the needs of ammonium nitrate in the country will be met as a whole, so no need to import, \” said the CEO of PT Industrial Engineering Triharyo I Susilo in an electronic letter to the Media Indonesia.  Triharyo expressed his pride has been trusted to build the plant would be operated by PT Kaltim Nitrate Indonesia (KNI). KNI is a consortium between Armindo Group Pte Ltd and Orica Australia. The inauguration was attended, among others, the Governor of East Kalimantan, the Mayor of Bontang, East Kalimantan Fertilizer Directors along with the entire staff, CEO of PT Industrial Engineering Triharyo I Soesilo, President Director of PT Kaltim Nitrate Indonesia (KNI) Earring Pandoyo, KNI shareholders, CEO Armindo Group, Winniarlita, and CEO of Orica , Graeme Liebelt.  Construction of this plant has a strategic value and importance to meet the needs of ammonium nitrate in the country from year to year increase, while world demand for these products is also increasing.

WAVES bankruptcy papers in the United States also worried about the print media industry players in the homeland. The question arises would the newspapers in Indonesia will experience the same thing?  “To answer that see what the cause of the collapse of newspapers in the U.S.. But in essence, is still far was Indonesia will experience it. Very unlikely,” said Dahlan Iskan, the chairman of the U.S. newspaper publisher (SPS) in a seminar titled Learning Center from bankruptcy in U.S. newspapers in Jakarta, yesterday.  Dahlan believes that the main cause of bankruptcy of the newspapers in the United States is not as the impact of mass media presence online. ”What is the cause rather mismanagement newspaper itself,” said Dahlan. According to Dahlan, the offender management in the U.S. newspaper companies are not doing a case study in response to the decline in their circulation figures. It has also been seen from the bankruptcy of almost 60 percent of U.S. newspaper about 40 years ago.

“The behavior of their management, such as trade management and tofu. They do not use case studies to deal with declining circulation, but rather cover it up with financial solutions,” said Dahlan, who also serves as CEO of Java Pos. Further, Dahlan explains the cause of bankruptcies in the U.S. newspaper when online media is starting to bloom. ”The newspapers so completely unprepared for the arrival of online media,” said Dahlan. Asked the possibility of “infectious” what is experienced by the newspapers in the United States to Indonesia, Dahlan replied with an optimist. ”Very unlikely Indonesian newspapers will wind up as U.S. newspapers. For instance occurs, the impact will be very small,” Dahlan asserted. Several leading newspaper published a “bankrupt” in the U.S., among others, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia Daily News, The Miami Herald, The San Francisco Chronicle, The Minneapolis Star Tribune, until The Boston Globe.  Newspapers generally have been standing more than 100 years, and has a print run sold more than 300 thousand copies per day. The main reason for bankruptcy they are advertising that continues to decline, circulation also decreases, causing their debt grow. ”It causes a very unusual complication,” Dahlan added.
