# Empowering East Indonesia’s Industrial Growth: PT Panca Amara Utama and Career Opportunities
PT Panca Amara Utama (PAU) stands at the forefront of industrial development in Eastern Indonesia. By establishing a state-of-the-art greenfield ammonia plant located in the Batui District, Banggai Regency, Central Sulawesi, the company is transforming regional natural resources into high-value industrial commodities. As the inaugural ammonia production facility in Sulawesi and the second privately owned plant nationwide, PAU is driving economic advancement and manufacturing excellence across the region.
## Pioneering Innovation and Strategic Partnerships
Valued at an investment of USD 830 million, construction on the facility commenced in mid-2015, establishing a robust foundation for domestic industrial capacity. The natural gas required for plant operations is sourced directly from the Senoro-Toili gas field, managed by JOB Pertamina-Medco E&P Tomori Sulawesi.
To ensure world-class execution, PAU appointed the esteemed national contractor PT Rekayasa Industri as the sole Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) partner. Furthermore, the initiative is backed by significant financial backing arranged through the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a key member of the World Bank Group. This funding marks the largest greenfield project financing undertaken by the IFC in Asia over the past ten years, bolstered by a syndicate of seven prominent international financial institutions:
* ANZ
* HSBC
* KDB
* OCBC
* SMBC
* Standard Chartered
* UOB
Additionally, cutting-edge engineering takes center stage at the facility. The production technology is licensed through Kellogg Brown & Root (USA), making PAU the pioneer globally to implement the patented KRES + Purifier technology by KBR, thereby introducing advanced industrial innovations to Indonesia. PAU operates as a 60% subsidiary of PT Surya Esa Perkasa Tbk. (ticker: ESSA), the largest private LPG refiner in the country.
