On April 22, 2009, the Crown Jakarta team hosted corporate guests along with managers from Crown's Asia Pacific and European operations at a grand opening ceremony of their new state-of-the-art facility! Special guests included representatives from Standard Chartered Bank, APL, Shell, Siemens, Amcham and Jim Thompson, Crown Worldwide Group's chairman. Guests enjoyed a tour of the facilities as well as a cocktail party and celebration toast.
Mike Arnold, country manager of Crown Indonesia, who has worked with Crown since 1997 noted, "This multi-million dollar investment makes us even better positioned to provide world-class service solutions to our valued customers. We look forward to expanding our service lines and operations across the Indonesian archipelago."
Crown Jakarta–the fourth branch of the Crown Group–was established in 1973 and has since proudly served the local business community. The new building is 7,000 square meters (75,000 square feet). It houses three floors of office space, a 5,500 square meter (59,200 square feet) warehouse, a high-value vault and an electronic media storage center. On-site security provides 24-hour service, assisted by state-of-the-art technology which includes biometric access control, motion and heat detectors, and closed-circuit television (CCTV).
Philip Britton, group vice president of Records Management offered his congratulations, “with a staff of true professionals with a high level of enthusiasm, Jakarta was an easy choice for this year’s ‘Outstanding Achievement Award.’ I would like to give a special acknowledgement to operations and warehouse manager Witdyaningsih Pudjanarko, who has been the driving force behind Jakarta’s quality and operational efficiency.”
