The activity was then continued with a detailed briefing and explanation about PT Pindad by the Chief of Business Strategy, Syaifuddin. He presented material on Pindad products, both defense equipment products (weapons, munitions, special vehicles) and industrial products (excavators, heavy equipment, agricultural equipment, railway support facilities, incinerators, and commercial explosives).

“The spirit of collaboration is built to increase competence and strength. Collaboration is carried out with competent, open-minded, and strong human resources.
