Mitsui Leasing Capital Indonesia Celebrates Three Decades of Success
Jakarta – Three decades is not a short time. In a journey of a Company, there were many things that happened in 30 years: the sweet and the bitter, the joy and sorrow, the success and failure. All that is also what PT Mitsui Leasing Capital Indonesia (Mitsui Leasing) went through.
Mitsui Leasing celebrated the 30th anniversary of its establishment on 12 January 2023. The struggle to get to this point is extraordinary, especially so knowing that the Company went through times when the Indonesian economy was at its lowest point, monetary crisis, or even the pandemic era which was filled with limitations. But with hard work and high work ethics, the Company managed to surpass the hardships with great achievements.
To commemorate this special anniversary, all Mitsui Leasing Branch Offices held celebration events in their areas throughout February and March 2023.
The Celebration Attended by Management and Employees
From all of Mitsui Leasing’s lively anniversary celebration parties, one cannot deny that the grandest event was the one held in Grand Sahid Jaya Hotel. The event held on Friday, 24 February 2023 was attended by all Mitsui Leasing employees from the Head Office, the DKI Jakarta Branch Offices, Serpong Branch Office, and Bekasi Branch Office. The total of attendees who came that day was 465 people. The hallway going to the Hotel Ballroom was filled with congratulatory flower arrangements from the Company’s business partners.
The event was opened with a greeting to all Board of Directors; Mr. Naoyuki Akiyama, Mr. Christian Hono Haryanto, Mr. Koji Arai, Mr. Kristian Ong, Mr. Ricky Irawan, dan Mr. Takao Aoyama. Then it was continued with another round of greetings for Mrs. Tina Liliani as Independent Commissary, Mrs. Meilyn Soetiono as Independent Committee Member, Mr. Makoto Furusawa as the President Director of PT Matahari Artha Nusantara, the Division Heads, and the Branch Managers from 14 Mitsui Leasing Branch Offices. Cheers from the Employees incited more excitement in the air.
As the opening, Mr. Akiyama as Mitsui Leasing’s President Director gave a greeting speech. In his speech, Mr. Akiyama relayed his deepest gratitude for all employees whom have continuously contributed to the Company. Other than that, he also shared his wishes for Mitsui Leasing so that it keeps on thriving and becomes a Company that does not stop scoring brilliant achievements. The peak of this opening session is when the rest of the Directors joined Mr. Akiyama on stage to do a Tumpeng slicing ceremony.
The celebration continues with a dinner. Puri Agung Ballroom, the venue inside the hotel is filled with familiar chattering between colleagues who haven’t met each other in a while or only just met earlier while enjoying the spread of buffet provided. Starting from main courses like Hainan rice, beef stew, pecking duck, fetuccinne pasta to desserts like pudding, tiramisu cake, and assortment of fruits. All the while, the screen on stage shows a compilation of Mitsui Leasing employees’ photos from the 90’s era up to the present.
The crown of the evening was the game KIM or Kesenian Indah Minangkabau, a game where the Employees are to cross out a horizontal line of random numbers accordingly when called out by a KIM Singer. The winners of the KIM game have the chance to win grand prizes prepared by the Company.
The excitement peaked at that moment. All employees participated energetically and sang along with the KIM Singer’s singing. Many Employees have even stood up from their seats, unable to not drabble in the excitement with a dance. Even the upper managerial staffs showed their best moves. The room was filled with cheers of victory or outcries of disappointment every time the round of game ended.
The celebration was closed by a dazzling performance by a Band and Singers. Without being tired, all the Employees stand again, running together to the front of the stage to have a dance party. So many shared the splash of a party through their social media (of course, uploaded by tagging @mitsui.leasing with the hashtag #MLCI30). Seems like the saying is right: ‘Work Hard, Play Hard’.

Happy 30th Anniversary, Mitsui Leasing Capital Indonesia
