Kapal Api Opens Voice on Bankruptcy Issues and Demonstrations because of THR
Recently, social media was stirred up by employees demonstrating demanding payment of holiday allowances (THR), which was accompanied by news of the termination of employment (PHK) for hundreds of workers at PT Agel Langgeng.
This problem dragged the name of PT Santos Jaya Abadi or better known as the manufacturer of packaged ground coffee with the Kapal Api brand.
In a narrative that went viral on social media, hundreds of employees even protested by visiting the residence of the Kapal Api boss, which was heavily guarded by the local police.
GM Marketing of PT Santos Jaya Abadi Pupuk Sugiharto said that the issue of layoffs and THR that was not paid by his company was not true.
Pupuk emphasized that PT Santos Jaya Abadi, which is a producer of ground coffee and coffee-based food and drink, had nothing to do with the legal issues that occurred at PT Agel Langgeng.
"There is nothing to do with Kapal Api and PT Agel Langgeng, because this is a different management, as stated by Mr. Edi and Mr. Atmari," said Pupuk, quoted from Kompas TV, Friday (14/4/2023).
He also emphasized that the financial condition of PT Santos Jaya Abadi is still healthy, operations are still running normally where employees are also paid THR rights. Thus, the issue of the company on the verge of bankruptcy is also fake news.
"Until now, the company (PT Santos Jaya Abadi) is still operating normally. From marketing, keep doing promotions and Kapal Api products can be seen in the market," said Pupuk.
Meanwhile, quoted from the official website of Kapal Api Global, PT Agel Langgeng is a subsidiary of Kapal Api Global. The company was founded in 1991.
PT Agel Langgeng is a company that produces candies and biscuits. In fact, they claim to be one of the biggest players in the industry in Indonesia.
On the official website, PT Agel Langgeng and Kapal Api Global are linked to PT Santos Jaya Abadi. However, as Pupuk Sugiharto has emphasized, the two companies have different management.

Kapal Api Buka Suara soal Isu Bangkrut dan Demo gara-gara THR
Baru-baru ini media sosial dihebohkan oleh para karyawan yang berdemo menuntut pembayaran tunjangan hari raya (THR), yang disertai dengan kabar pemutusan hubungan kerja (PHK) ratusan pekerja di PT Agel Langgeng.
Permasalahan tersebut menyeret nama PT Santos Jaya Abadi atau yang lebih dikenal sebagai produsen kopi bubuk kemasan bermerek Kapal Api.
Dalam narasi yang viral di lini masa, ratusan karyawan bahkan melakukan protes dengan mendatangi kediaman bos Kapal Api yang dijaga ketat oleh aparat kepolisian setempat.
GM Marketing PT Santos Jaya Abadi Pupuk Sugiharto mengatakan, isu soal PHK dan THR yang tidak dibayarkan oleh perusahaannya tidaklah benar.
Pupuk menegaskan, PT Santos Jaya Abadi yang merupakan produsen kopi bubuk dan makanan minuman berbasis kopi itu tidak ada sangkut pautnya dengan masalah hukum yang terjadi di PT Agel Langgeng.
“Tidak ada sangkut pautnya antara Kapal Api dengan PT Agel Langgeng, karena hal ini manajemen yang berbeda, seperti yang disampaikan oleh Bapak Edi dan Bapak Atmari,” kata Pupuk, dikutip dari Kompas TV, Jumat (14/4/2023).
Ia juga menegaskan, kondisi keuangan PT Santos Jaya Abadi masih sehat, operasional pun masih berjalan normal yang mana karyawan juga dibayarkan hak THR. Sehingga, isu perusahaan di ambang kebangkrutan juga merupakan kabar bohong.
“Hingga saat ini, perusahaan (PT Santos Jaya Abadi) masih beroperasi secara normal. Dari marketing tetap melakukan promosi dan produk produk Kapal Api bisa terlihat di pasaran,” ujar Pupuk.
Sementara itu, dikutip dari laman resmi Kapal Api Global, PT Agel Langgeng merupakan anak usaha dari Kapal Api Global. Perusahaan tersebut berdiri sejak tahun 1991.
PT Agel Langgeng adalah perusahaan yang memproduksi permen dan biskuit. Bahkan, mereka mengeklaim sebagai salah satu pemain terbesar di industri tersebut di Indonesia.
Di situs resminya, memang PT Agel Langgeng dan Kapal Api Global memiliki keterkaitan dengan PT Santos Jaya Abadi. Namun, seperti yang sudah ditegaskan Pupuk Sugiharto, kedua perusahaan itu memiliki manajemen yang berbeda.
