  • Pertamina Patra Niaga is offering souvenirs made by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (UMKM) to visitors at the GIIAS 2026 auto show.
  • Visitors can win free souvenirs like candles and pouches by participating in interactive games at the MyPertamina booth.
  • The initiative aims to promote local UMKM products and provide them with wider market access.

Visitors to the MyPertamina booth at the GAIKINDO Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) 2026 can take home unique souvenirs crafted by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (UMKM) supported by Pertamina Patra Niaga.

Every souvenir that visitors take home tells a story about the creativity and journey of our partner UMKM in developing their businesses. Even some products are born from collaboration with children with special needs, so each work carries a spirit of empowerment. By presenting their products as souvenirs at GIIAS, we hope these local works become better known to the public and open up wider market opportunities for them.

The booth features a variety of interactive games, including the Turbo RC Drift Challenge, Fuel Precision Rush, Pertamax Turbo Gamification, and a MotoGP simulator. Participants who engage in these activities have the chance to win free souvenirs such as candles and pouches, serving as mementos of their visit.

Kitty Andhora, VP Corporate Communication of Pertamina Patra Niaga, highlighted that the UMKM products include candles and batik pouches from Koko Craft, as well as pouches from Narita Sibori. Notably, the Narita Sibori pouches are a collaboration with children with special needs from Rumah Hasanah Bandung and SLB Negeri 4 Jakarta, adding a layer of social empowerment to the initiative.

I'm so happy because I got this batik pouch. It's great that the MyPertamina booth can highlight UMKM products amidst a car exhibition. I hope Pertamina Patra Niaga will always support local products.

The products are good and works by local children like this should continue to be developed. I am proud that amidst many foreign products, local products are still present and introduced to GIIAS visitors.

Visitors like Anya from Jakarta expressed their delight, receiving a batik pouch from Koko Craft. "I'm so happy because I got this batik pouch. It's great that the MyPertamina booth can highlight UMKM products amidst a car exhibition," she said, hoping Pertamina Patra Niaga will continue supporting local products. Similar sentiments were echoed by Hanif from Bekasi, who received a candle, and Ivan from Bogor, who won a pouch, both praising the quality of the local products and Pertamina's role in promoting them.

The pouch is good and can be used to store various items I use daily. Making these products as souvenirs at GIIAS is very helpful for people who have businesses, especially in helping their sales. I am proud of Pertamina Patra Niaga for helping UMKM.
