The United Tractors Group is distributing humanitarian aid as a gesture of care and support for communities affected by the earthquake in Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT).
Jakarta, August 31, 2026 – PT United Tractors Tbk (UT) and its subsidiaries, namely PT Pamapersada Nusantara (PAMA), PT Kalimantan Prima Persada (KPP), PT Agincourt Resources (PTAR), PT Sumbawa Jaya Raya (SJR), PT Traktor Nusantara (Traknus), and PT Bina Pertiwi (BP), collectively referred to as the UT Group, continue to strengthen their support for communities affected by the earthquake in Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT). Since the onset of the emergency response phase, the UT Group has deployed Emergency Response Teams (ERT), distributed logistical aid, provided healthcare services and ready-to-eat meals, and conducted needs assessments for communities in Kabupaten Manggarai, Manggarai Timur, Ende, and Sikka.
Between August 19 and August 27, 2026, up to 20 ERT personnel from UT, PAMA, KPP, PTAR, and SJR were deployed to provide direct support for disaster relief operations in the field. The team carried out various activities, ranging from healthcare services, aid distribution, and regional condition assessments to coordination with local governments and various stakeholders to ensure aid reached the intended recipients effectively.
“In disaster situations, rapid response and collaboration are key to assisting the community during the emergency response period. Through the synergy of all UT Group entities, we strive to mobilize our resources so that aid reaches the community in accordance with actual needs on the ground. We hope this support helps alleviate the community’s burden while also aiding the recovery process in the affected areas,” said Dianwahyu Sri Purnomo, Head of Corporate Communications and Sustainability Division at UT.
Healthcare services have been a primary focus of the field operations. As of August 27, 2026, medical services provided at various locations had reached 895 patients. Services were delivered in several areas, including Desa Satar Ngkeling, Desa Tuke, Desa Banka Kenda, Dusun Ranggi, Desa Bekakor, Dusun Lalong, and Desa Kakor in Kabupaten Manggarai. In addition, PAMA is providing psychosocial support services for affected children and adolescents in Kecamatan Wae Ri’i as part of post-disaster recovery efforts.
Regarding the fulfillment of basic needs, the UT Group is distributing various forms of aid to the community and to the families of UT Group employees affected by the disaster. In Kecamatan Wae Ri’i, Kabupaten Manggarai, logistical aid had reached 1,099 households in Desa Compang Ndehes and Desa Ndehes. Aid (consisting of packages of staple foods, tarpaulins, mats, blankets, and other essentials) has also been distributed to Desa Satar Keling, Kelurahan Tiong Toko, Desa Bentang Poco, and several other affected areas in Kabupaten Manggarai. Meanwhile, in Kabupaten Ende, UT distributed 100 aid packages to the residents of Desa Roga through a collaboration with RRI Ende and the Indonesian Air Force (TNI AU).
To help meet community needs during the emergency response period, the UT Group is also distributing ready-to-eat meals at several evacuation sites, including 100 portions in the Wae Ri’i area. Assistance is also being provided to the families of UT Group employees affected in Kabupaten Ende, demonstrating care for the UT Group workforce impacted by the disaster.
The UT Group is also supporting the smooth mobilization of aid by providing operational resources. KPP handed over three generator units to meet electricity needs at churches in Desa Satar Ngkeling, Desa Golo Cador, and Desa Longko. Meanwhile, Traknus and BP provided two forklifts to assist the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) in managing and mobilizing aid at the Halim Perdanakusuma Airport Logistics Warehouse in Jakarta.
Beyond aid distribution, the UT Group is conducting assessments of the affected areas to ensure that the support provided aligns with community needs. In Kecamatan Wae Ri’i, KPP is assessing five villages to map out the condition of the community and the impact on public facilities. Coordination was also carried out with the Ende Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) regarding the assessment of affected schools, public facilities, and places of worship, as well as with the Sikka BPBD concerning the aid distribution plan for Desa Umagera and the assessment of affected schools in Kabupaten Sikka.
These efforts were implemented through collaboration among the UT Group, the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), regional disaster management agencies (BPBD), local governments, the Indonesian Air Force (TNI AU), RRI, and other relevant parties. This synergy reflects the UT Group’s commitment to remaining present and making a tangible contribution to communities facing emergency situations.
Moving forward, the UT Group will continue to monitor conditions in the affected areas and adjust its support based on assessment results and community needs. Through ongoing collaboration with various stakeholders, the UT Group hopes to help accelerate the recovery process for the communities and areas affected by the earthquake in Nusa Tenggara Timur.
