MALANG, KOMPAS — Brawijaya University Malang launched three new businesses after this Eid. The three businesses include a catering business and a travel agent.
The launch of three new business units was carried out on Tuesday (23/4/2024) on the sidelines of a halalbihalal event with students to strengthen ties between the entire academic community University Brawijaya (UB). With the theme "Caring for Friendships and Receiving Blessings", this activity also became the momentum for the launch of the new business unit PT Brawijaya Multi Usaha (PT BMU).
CEO of PT BMU, Edi Purwanto, stated that PT BMU is a newly-established company in January 2024. Within three months, PT BMU has established seven business units and completed 22 MoUs and cooperation agreements with various parties. PT BMU is a company owned by Brawijaya University, with 100 percent of its shares owned by UB.
"We also launched three new business units, namely UB Catering, UB Science and Technology, and UB Tour&Travel. UB Catering is a business unit that focuses on food and beverages. Meanwhile, UB Science and Technology focuses on laboratory equipment and goods services," said Edi.
As for the UB Tour&Travel business unit, Edi said it has advantages when compared to other companies. This unit can provide comparative study activities with foreign parties, both with agencies and universities. "Apart from that, we also provide natural destinations in collaboration with UB Forest," he said. Currently, PT BMU has collaborated with 132 countries and various overseas campuses.

UB Chancellor Widodo appreciated the efforts made by PT BMU. "We want our business entity to not only prioritize profit, but also guarantee the quality of service to the academic community and all stakeholders," he said.
Widodo hopes that with PT BMU, this business can contribute to providing additional income for UB while maintaining and improving the quality of campus services. "Because the economic turnover in UB can reach 2 trillion rupiah, the target that must be achieved is a minimum of 30 percent. PT BMU is also the face of UB. "So it is hoped that it can make a big contribution and improve the branding that has been built by UB," he said.
