Out of 100% of seedlings growing entrepreneurs, usually only 20% who survive, and 80% off

Out of 100% of seedlings growing entrepreneurs, usually only 20% who survive, and 80% dead? so says John B. Soenarjo, Chief Consulting Officer DIREXION accompanied by Ir. R. Budi Setiawan of Associate Partner to the team liput EI Herlina Lisa, when talking about the phenomenon of entrepreneurial failure and bankruptcy of doing business in Indonesia. Although this phenomenon is a natural thing, according to John does not mean can not be avoided. Binis marketing consultant and is also asking a number of ideas for the entrepreneur to minimize the risk of failure and bankruptcy. Here are excerpts of the interview.
How do you see the phenomenon of entrepreneur bankruptcy in Indonesia?Usually this way, from 100 plants growing entrepreneurs, typically 80% die and 20% live and survive. But of the 20% who survive this, 5 years later would shrink back. Within the first 1-3 years will fall out, and the rest will survive to 5 years and survived in a period of more than 5 years will also be filtered again. So the collapse of all kinds. Some businesses went bankrupt in early (premature), just started also been bankrupt. Insolvent at the time began to grow and bankruptcy in adult stage. This phenomenon is common. If bangrutnya during introductory phase to grow, there is rarely a rescue. But the bankrupt at the time of adulthood, it's easier. The company could be sold, the take over, and looking for investors. In 2000-2003, most companies that go bankrupt. Among Dotcom companies. This community has mushroomed everywhere but her age is not less than 2 years.
In your opinion, what causes it?Usually, they just have an idea but do not have strong business skills. So the seed was very good entrepreneur, but also must be accompanied by skill as a fundamental business is strong. Therefore, there must be a true entrepreneur education so that people can learn how to be an entrepreneur who can manage the company and can avoid the trap-trap risk of business failure. Broadly speaking it could be due to the bankruptcy of internal factors, such as miss-management, such as family management, collusion, etc.. External factors, such as the financial crisis. For example, companies that had declined and then rose again, is the Export bag. When facing financial crisis due to cost push pressure is too high, they end up doing a total revitalization. Management makes corporate strategy Rejuvenation (rejuvenation-red) that has begun to let the lackluster truth is not dead.
The cause of the most dominant?Mismanagement. Number of entrepreneurs went from a hobby, or a sudden fad and become entrepreneurs. But they are not polished. Yes sorry, that wild way. They were shocked, opportunities can be exploited, and large orders so they are not ready to arrange everything. It makes their origin are important for cover orders fulfilled. They do not develop a mature and make calculations. But if management and strong organizational and business skills was good, in siatuasi and pressure however, they will be able to survive and dodged. They know plans reserve in dealing with difficult situations. But if you do not have it all, will be broken.
Your opinion about the school entrepreneur who has been there now?Most entrepreneurs were born naturally. Embryos that had never experienced the truth entrepreneur school. Education entrepreneurs truth it is a standardized curriculum. How to make a business plan, conduct control efforts, and develop good organization. Well, you should like it. Departing from an idea that is really unique and there is market it. There polished and prepared business plan, in which there is a strategy to work on the market so do not let the embryos that are grown there and then disappear. There is a natural entrepreneur, then self-taught and successful. At certain phases she endures not because of his entrepreneurial skill but because of his ability to combine entrepreneurship with the elements of professionalism. He got to know the management and professional. If you do not use professional management and would not likely survive. One disadvantage is mencampuradukan business entrepreneur and a personal or family finances.
Is there anything else that should be considered?Networking. Entrepreneurship can be great because of its ability to build networks and this capability is very important. So, it's good to larger companies or state-owned companies to facilitate the SMEs so that there is institutional, and make practical and systematic education modules that can be used as a guide for the perpetrators of these SMEs.
Basic what it must have a entrepereneur?Knowledge management, networking and market. These three things are important. An entrepreneur must know the market there are products or services or guns, then how to build the market, and its marketing capability must also exist. The formula SE = MC2, Successfull Entrepreneur = Marketing, Competensi, and the conection.
During this time, how the business entrepreneur to market what you see?Still very poor. They can make a product but can not package the product properly. The packaging is not attractive, its brand ugly sometimes even absent, or present but less so to enter the commercial market only modern guns could be overpriced while the traditional market entry. For example, in Central Java, a lot of business people engaged in traditional beverage. At first they did not understand about branding, and market. But they have mastery in one area. Finally they learned that over time I see a lot of success. They are self-taught, experimenting to make the product more attractive and modern market could get even if more developed can also be exported.
How do you see the twisted entrepreneur in our country today?Many entrepreneurs emerged because of the condition. For example, people who used to work, have capital, then he became an entrepreneur, but they do not have basic. But I am quite happy with the current era of leadership. Lots of growing the seeds of new entrepreneurs with extraordinary creativity. They are so brave to take higher risks, make new breakthroughs. For entrepreneurs who can really say is an entrepreneur willing to take risks and gave birth to an idea. But there is also a follower (follower-ed) entrepreneurs are people who went along. Being an entrepreneur because look at what else the trends and behavior, he felt it was a chance and he entered. For example, when Mr. Dipping?? S behavior of others is not a pure entrepreneur follewer and they claim only their first but not so. So, there are people who did take the first risk and there is also the only part of it. Usually the most rapid fall was the second. But it also depends on the first or pioneer how he manage the market. If not he will be overtaken and he is fallen.
What strategies can be applied to avoid bankruptcy?One of them we will talk marketing. How to create diffresiansi. Competitors may come and go but an entrepreneur must do improvisation and innovation. Improvisation in terms of business, quality management, and innovation in the product. So that his competency gap further and more difficult to imitate and be the market leader (market leader-red)
Your advice for entrepreneurs?In starting a business identify yourself. That is, what competencies are held and what will be sold to the market. Second, identify markets, customers and competitors who. Third, get up early fundamentals. So, have started to apply the principles of administrative namely, the existence of a clear separation between personal and business. Fourth, build business networks and do improvisation and innovation on an ongoing basis. Set aside from business profits earned for improvisation and innovation of products that can make companies can increasingly overlapping.

Business Section of The Innovator Plastic Bags

  Lewis Tandio Oxium successfully launched, the brand of plastic bags the environmentally friendly innovation. It only took a year of this brand control 90% of the market of plastic bags in the modern market segments such as Indomaret, Alfamart, Carrefour and Hypermart. This is the struggle of the innovator.
Although plastic has to support his extended family since 1971, Lewis Tandio (47 years) does not turn a blind eye to the potential dangers of these products. "The strength and durability of plastic is a danger," said President Director of PT Tirta Marta, a manufacturer of plastic packaging company located in Serang, Cikupa, Tangerang.
Departing from the idea that, since 2000, Lewis researched formulas that can shorten the "life span" of plastic. Unmitigated ambition: from the normal 1,000 years, graduates of the S-1 and S-2 Electrical Engineering University of North Dakota, United States, it has a target of naturally describes the plastic in a matter of years.
After 8 years of research, persistence former laboratory system designers and production facilities in the U.S. 3M Company that any sweet fruit. Two plastic bags brand innovation, Ecoplas (made from cassava flour) and Oxium (plus the additive decomposition of plastic), successfully digelontorkan to the market in 2009.
In a short time, many modern market retailers and other companies who are looking for environmentally friendly plastics greeted like thirsty travelers who found an oasis in the desert. And, just need a year since it was launched for Oxium to become ruler of 90% plastic bag market in the modern market segments. Its clients include retail giants like Indomaret Indonesia, Alfamart, Carrefour and Hypermart, as well as other companies such as bakeries and pastry shops Kartika Sari and pharmaceutical Century. In fact, not only in the country, many retailers and companies in the U.S. also contributed to his clients such as Mall of America, supermarkets Lake Winds and Zara.
Lewis, the innovator, recognizes great success was not separated from his experience living in the U.S. for 10 years. There he saw, although society and the U.S. government has been promoting the culture of sorting waste plastic for easy handling of wastes, and plastics manufacturers have also implemented measures 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle) since 50 years ago, the strategy seem less effective. Still, there heaps of plastic waste everywhere in the U.S..
It was indeed due to the nature of plastic waste that even though organic itself because it comes from petroleum, but because of the added additives, durability becomes extraordinary, survive up to 1 millennium before finally slowly decompose naturally. The experience was then stored in his mind although he later worked at 3M who are not related to the family business.
Similarly, when he returned to Indonesia in 1994 to lead the company his family. Adjust to the challenges of modernization and upgrading production facilities management company, he prefers to do clean up, clean up the company. At that time Tirta Marta is manned 50 employees led to the model one man show. "It's amazing, because usually a person span of control was only 3-4 people," said Lewis to the SWA in its factories, mid-January. Still looks great, such conditions become obstacle in the development of the company. Because, with the pattern, each time a company wants to grow is always inhibited.
When the company entered the family, Lewis was asked to first apprentice and learn the working methods of the leader who is a friend of the father-in-law. But because it has its own vision, Lewis was gently refused. "It's nothing, my time will be spent on operations and will not have time to think of corporate development. Finally, I asked for authority to operate the factory in Serang area of ​​2 hectares of newly built pada1996. Gradually the various orders routed to Attack, "explained the father of two children.
With Lewis introduced modern management, work processes and become more efficient production time. In the attack, he indeed is gradually implementing modern management pattern with placing professionals in marketing, purchasing, human resources, and production.
The result is very real. Until the late 1990s, the company's turnover soared thousands of percent with employees who had quintuple to 250 people. Challenges changed. No longer in the aspect of efficiency, but innovation for the sake of maintaining the market. As a manufacturer of plastic, of course innovation in fields related to plastics.
Lewis realized he could not focus when researching the company's control entirely in his hands. So, he handed over the operational affairs of the company to the professionals who had prepared. From 3M Lewis gain valuable knowledge in researching stock, which is not any research and findings can be used as a money machine. "About 90% of numbers (findings) of the world's patents are not exploited," he said. From 3M did he learn, since the beginning of research should be estimated whether the findings can be made of finished products, can be marketed and is expected to also big market. That is the guidance. And, look in the mirror of his experience in college in the U.S., he identified the need to find an environmentally friendly plastic.
Then formed a small team consisting of 6 people who lead themselves. "The staff there are researchers who holds bachelor's and there is also a Ph.D.," he called the educational qualifications of the team. All research conducted at the factory in Serang, although for testing is always done at the research institute owned by BPPT, campus, and other testing agencies considering the limited equipment in his factory.
Once the initial phase has been steady and the target is found, Lewis was looking for funding due to the high cost of research. Later, funding obtained from Aureos Capital, the private equity firm based in London, England, and funded by CDC Group and Norfund. Both institutions are the last of each financial institution formed by the British Government and the Government of Norway that aims to help firms in developing countries whose mission is to help conserve the environment.
With the support of millions of dollars from Aureos, Lewis do the research. Again and again he assured the family that his mission is the way of the future for Tirta Marta. "Sometimes there are questions from family members about the usefulness of this research, it is natural. It is our duty to explain the importance of this research for the future of the company, "he said.
Finally, after 8 years of struggling in the research lab at its factory in Serang, with poured tens of billions of dollars, its innovation to fruition. Successfully hatched two products, branded and ready for the market, namely Ecoplas and Oxium. Ecoplas is a plastic made from cassava, while Oxium is additive that serves to accelerate the decomposition of plastic with the help of oxidation, thermal and photodegradation.
Both products were tested at various testing agencies in Indonesia such as Sucofindo and proved capable of accelerating the process of decomposition of plastic in two years. "Actually, it could be destroyed within 6 months or less, but we specify a period of two years to accommodate the behavior of consumers who like to use plastic again," said Lewis.
Plastic manufacturing technology from carbohydrate crops such as cassava itself has existed since 30 years ago and is now widely circulating on the Internet. Ecoplas work processes by using the starch (flour) cassava to be made of plastic. "We select berkabohidrat plant cassava because it is cheapest. Compare with rice, potatoes and corn, "said Lewis.
Well, the technology is still rare oxodegradable Oxium that uses technology. Oxium work by mixing these additives are as much as 10% of total raw material of ordinary plastic. In the world there are only a few companies that master the technology of additive decomposition of plastics in a short time, the EPI from Canada, D2W from England, Willoridge from the U.S., and Symphony.
Once the finished product and brand, began marketing through presentations to potential clients, the modern retailer market. "Because they are environmentally conscious, and so their use, certainly others follow," said Lewis. True, too. Once one retailer using plastic bags with labels Oxium, others follow. Immediately, its products spread quickly. Until now, almost no modern channels that do not wear plastic or Ecoplas Oxium. "In Indonesia, Oxium generate sales because the price is cheaper than Ecoplas," he said.
Given the magnitude of demand and desire to do efficiency, Lewis also market the additive Oxium the 16 other plastics factory. "We also do not want to kill off other players my friends. Large market, surely we can work together, "he said. He estimates, total production of plastic bags produced Oxium and Ecoplas Tirta Marta and the 16 partners reach 3,000 tons / month. The amount of additives produced Oxium Tirta Marta reached 300 tons / month.
Still want to raise the market quickly, Lewis is very selective in choosing partners. Because, he does not want its product "tricked" the partners who eventually will eliminate consumer confidence.
Adrian Sudirgo, GM of Operations and Marketing plastics company PT Tirta Intiperdana Earth, confirmed greeting Lewis. Tirta Marta, Adrian said, applying the selection for prospective partners. There are several aspects that seen Lewis in choosing partners. Among other things, companies to be credible partners with a clear track record and have access to modern channels.
In addition, after becoming a partner, adopted periodic evaluation of work procedures to prevent violations. "Every few periods, they conduct product sampling to check the accuracy of the content Oxium," Adrian said as he explained, his company has been working with since the quarter III/2009 Tirta Marta. The Intiperdana clients include Indomaret, Alfamart, Hypermart and many other modern channels.
Lewis explains, one reason why many companies interested partners to work together because they do not need to invest using the new machines. Beyond that, the production cost of plastic bags Oxium not too expensive, only adds to production costs of 5% -10%. The extra cost is more expensive Ecoplas use 15% -20% than conventional plastics.
In turn, low investment costs make the extra cost charged to the final consumer is not great, only 5% -10% more expensive than conventional plastics. "Creating an affordable end product was a huge challenge in researching," said Lewis
Indomaret as one of the first clients Tirta Marta pleaded not constrained by the price of plastic Oxium that only slightly more expensive than ordinary plastic bags. When asked the possible use Indomaret Oxium reduce profits, Marketing Director of PT Indomarco Prismatama, Wiwiek Joseph, said, "It does not seem significant. That price is more mahal10% compared with ordinary plastic bags, it's true, "he said. Within a month, an average of outlets Indomaret wearing plastic bags of 50 kg. Each pound contains 357 pieces of plastic bags. By 5004 the number of outlets in January 2011, Indomaret requires 250.2 tons of plastic bags / month. "This need will continue to increase as the development of outlets," said Wiwiek.
Indomaret wearing plastic bags Oxium gradually since July 2009 and in September 2009 has been uneven across outlets. "The goal, to reduce number of plastic bags that have been polluting the environment and damage the health. The program is a commitment Indomaret in conserving nature and support the government program with the issuance of Law No.18/2008 on waste management, "Wiwiek added.
Lewis did not intend to be a champion. He wants the results of innovation Indonesia is known to foreign countries. He also had roadshows to various U.S. manufacturers and retailers to finally get clients such as Nickelodeon, Mall of America, Zara and Lake Winds.
Responding to a big dream Lewis, Steve Sudjatmiko, change management expert, recommends several steps for Lewis to raise its product which is actually a green product. "He could have lobbied the government to require the use of its products, educating school children, educate the factory, contact the foundations of CSR (corporate social responsibility) to ask for support, to conduct a seminar with Al Gore's environmentally friendly," said Human Resources Director of PT Dima Indonesia, beer distributor Guinness in Indonesia, it.
Steve also approved the sale of the additive method without producing the finished product. "Thus, Lewis get some advantages, namely speed up market penetration, market cheaply, sell in bulk and popularized the brand products."
For Lewis, the current step is the initial phase and Ecoplas Oxium applications. Subsequently, he was ready to apply Oxium to various other plastic based products. "The plan, beginning in 2011, every semester I launched new products, all in good time," said the man calmly that this smiling. (*)

Of Turbine, Success Down to Bandrek

Artificial water turbine Eddy Permadi (via Cintek) not only interested in the country, but also overseas markets, including developed countries such as Switzerland. Success is also transmitted to a business drinks sachets
bandrek traditional. How lika polytechnic graduates and turns of this struggle?
A number of guests from the Gesellschaft fur Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ), German social institution, is seen visiting the laboratory micro hydro area of ​​5 thousand m2 in Jl. Cihanjuang, Cimahi, West Java, when in one afternoon SWA arrived. Among them there are Gehart Fisher, Engineer and Mark Haiton microhydro GTZ, GTZ Project Manager. Permadi Eddy, founder of Core Engineering Cihanjuang CV (Cintek) who receive their own. Occasionally, this 52-year-old man spoke in fluent German.
Later, the name of Eddy was much discussed. Not only subscribers to his lab and workshop, but also among students, students, representatives of social agencies, local governments, to ministers. Polytechnic Alumni Achievement Mechanic Swiss-ITB (1980) is in raising Cintek was remarkable.
The company, founded in 1999, until the year 2007 have been successfully supplying turbines for Micro Hydro Power (MHP) to more than 200 locations in the country. Starting from the Land of Paradise Rencong to Earth. Some of the MHP was even built his own by Cintek, ranging from civil construction, electromechanical equipment, transmission and distribution mains to the surrounding community, for the installation into homes.
Seeing the figure, there's nothing special glimpse of the man born October 2, 1958 Sumedang this. Its appearance is unpretentious. Even his workshop feels small because of the large machinery and other goods that meet. Some layout engines and stuff looks irregular. But who would have thought Eddy with Cintek company, has been to attract a lot of appreciation. In 2004, ASEAN Hydro awarded Cintek Award. Kalpataru achieved in 2005. And Industrial Research Award for Work Results Terterapkan Technology in Energy Technology from the Ministry of Research and Technology, acquired in 2007.
Now the product design turbine electricity production MHP Cintek already patented in the DG of Intellectual Property Rights Department of Justice and Human Rights with HANJUANG name.
Interestingly, his success in pushing water turbine production business to pursue new business that is typical beverage West Java, bandrek and such. The brand that brought together the HANJUANG. Now a business drinks bandreknya showed outstanding performance. Eddy said, he has been marketing the 150 batches per day or 30 thousand per day packs bandrek (1 batch = 200 sachets).
As with any turbine business, in business bandrek Eddy also has won several awards. Among other things, the category Third Place Traditional Beverages Product Creation Special Area of ​​Provincial Cimahi mayor in 2006. Also, Winner category Small and Medium Business Group Health Food Manufacturer of the State Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs in 2007.
Eddy entrepreneurial journey started from the fertilizer business that failed. Cause, a government regulation to categorize their products as a fertilizer industry so he must sell at a price aka expensive industry. As a result, a complete fertilizer multihara produced under the banner of Sammaniat it difficult to market. "In fact, with our fertilizer, can result in harvest 8 tons more, even in Sumedang be 12 tons. While generally only 6 tonnes / ha, "he said. Failure in business was started with 7 people in 1995 that his friend, encouraged her to try another pioneering effort in the field. Business turbine was chosen.
Of course the choice was his background. As a graduate of Engineering Department of ITB PMS (now Polytechnic Manufacturing Polman Bandung or Bandung - Ed.), Machining is not the foreign goods for him. Moreover, during the year 1984-1986, he had the opportunity to learn the science of metallurgy (metal casting) in Switzerland. Then in 1988-1989, he continued his education the same in Germany, and obtained a Master of Foundry Handelskamer Industrie Und Mittlerer Neckar from Stuttgard-Deutchland. These learning opportunities he gained from his campus (PMS-ITB) for the faculty where he was given the task of opening a new department, the science of metal casting.
In Germany, the eldest of five children fruit Nurgana Endy couple (a former mathematics lecturer IKIP Bandung) and (late) Ratnawati explores the importance of energy in building the local economy. Even he found the fact that the economic success achieved by European countries because there was a revolution before the energy. He saw the country's highly literate and appreciate the energy. As a country that has four seasons, they tried to optimally utilize water, wind and sun to produce energy. As a result, energy requirements still be met despite the extreme seasonal changes.
From these observations, he recalled that Indonesia has abundant water resources. "From that conviction, I try and make energy pioneer. Therefore, to move the wheels of our economy must start from the energy, "he said excitedly.
His first project (1999) is the Repairing (repair) turbines from Germany to the tea plantations in Bandung with a capacity of 200 thousand watts (200 kw). The first project is worth USD 25 million. At that time he was able to restore the capacity of a 15 year old machine to the level of the original capacity, aka 200 kw again. "After that response (market) started well. That's how confident I was growing up, "Eddy said. For the first project, he must first investment worth USD 20 million used to buy a lathe, welding, fres and milling. "Before I bought cicil each month. All these machines are purchased in stages, "he said bluntly.
A few months later, he received orders installation of turbines in one area in Sulawesi. "I forgot the name of the region," he said innocently. Projects that are part of the Japanese aid worth USD 60 million. Next, he received orders from the government installation of micro hydro power plant in West Java with a capacity of 12 thousand watts. This project included that he be proud of. Because the turbine propellers type (open flume) was installed in the river that only has a height of 4 feet, but able to illuminate the 120 heads of families in Leuwikiara, Cipatujah, Tarlac. "The technology exists, most of the water should be 10-20 feet tall. As for that height (4 feet) technology is almost non-existent, "he said proudly.
Furthermore, every year he got a 4-5 turbine project. At that time the employees reach 20-30 people. The location of his workshop in Cihanjuang initially only covering 800 m2, has now reached 1200 m2.
Eddy acknowledged, is not easy to introduce turbine business that they do to the society at that time. That is why, he felt the need to educate the market. Then, in 2000 he made a lab test pilot micro-hydro energy in Cihanjuang. Initially natural lab located in the rice fields of this area 200 m2. Now the area reached 5 thousand m2. In this lab customers and the public can see and learn how to process the water into electricity. The goal, not merely for commercial but also educational. "I got this land from the Village of North Cimahi," said the former professor of PMS this ITB.
Now, there are two types of turbines produced Cintek ie crossflow turbine (cross flow) and propellers (open flume). Crossflow turbine is a type of the first-Eddy (before 2000). If calculated from the beginning until now, he has released about 90 turbine crossflow across the country. Secondly, the turbine propellers. "We who popularized this type. And the turbine is a breakthrough because, although low water levels (low height), still used as a potential energy, "he said proudly. For this second type, he has produced about 100 turbines. Turbine created after 2000 is booked Switzerland two units in 2006 valued at Rp 1 billion, and was installed at a dam in Switzerland.
Can be said to Eddy success in the turbine business since he was able to make the turbines are not only easy to install, but also relatively not difficult to be operated and maintained by local communities. He was also able to make a large or small turbines, which generate electric power about 100 watts to 200 thousand watts (200 kw). Turbine that can be installed in areas with low water level (2 meters), up for a waterfall.
The seriousness Eddy manage micro hydro turbine GTZ attention to micro-hydro technology transfer. Scoop was intercepted. And, since 2002 until now he became a partner GTZ.
Four years Cintek extraordinary developments. "Within a year demand reached 40 turbines or 160 turbines in four years," he said. Most of the electricity program enter the village through micro hydro installations, funded budgets and budget. Range 3-200 kw capacity. "I also make small turbines, which only produce 100-600 watts, because a lot of demand," he said.
Eddy claimed to do business in the field of micro-hydro and happiness with an experience in itself. She told him, he often visited a village that knows no electricity for many years. Then, when electricity is installed, the reaction of the villagers is extraordinary. They cry and so proud. "That's where my happiness," he said.
His success on the track MHP encourages the presence of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Purnomo Yusgiantoro visited the lab of nature and his workshop in Cihanjuang on February 24, 2007. A year later in early 2008, the Minister for the Acceleration of Disadvantaged Regions Lukman Edy had come there. The impact of the presence of these officials is very significant for the popularity of the company which now has 45 employees this. If before, turbine Cintek only in Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi and Kalimantan slightly, after the presence of the minister, Cintek turbines spread throughout Indonesia.
In addition, the project transaction value was higher. If you have previously booked the most expensive turbines worth USD 200 million (with a capacity of 125 thousand watts), after Eddy can get a more expensive turbine orders. For example, turbines worth USD 400 million with a capacity of 200 kw for a region in the West. Then, turbines worth USD 300 million to a mountainous area in Papua.
Not only local among the orderer Cintek, a number of foreign countries were ordered turbine product. Among others, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Malaysia and Timor Leste. The value of each project ranges from USD 200-250 million, with a capacity of 20-30 kw. According to him, actually Cintek been able to make larger turbines. Evidence, Cintek had manufactured turbines that can generate electricity at twice the 260 kw to Tajikistan.
Eddy said that currently about 90% of revenues associated with the turbine Cintek water comes from the government especially the Department of Mines and Energy. The remaining about 10% comes from private companies such as plantations, factories, and government organizations.
Success in business does not make the turbines fast Eddy complacent. Six years ago (2005) he pioneered bandrek instant beverage packaging business. "At first many people doubted me about people's economic ability because my education. From there I made a tool of post-harvest processing such as drying, cutting to the grindstone, "he said.
Feeling pity production equipment did not function, he also developed the idea to sell coffee that has added sugar in the packaging. But lately this idea because he did not revert in accordance with the concept of business, that is if you want to start entrepreneurship do not start from the region who have worked on many others.
