Pindad Export Munitions and Explosives Materials

PT Pindad (Persero) export 7,300 grains of 7.62x51 mm caliber and explosives materials totaling 4,030 units to Thailand. The release of the export of the product will be released by the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Rini M. Soemarno and the President Director of Pindad, Abraham Mose at the PT LEN Industri Office, Wednesday (10/31/2018).

Previously, PT Pindad (Persero) had been involved in export sales for quite a long time. Starting from 2006 Pindad began to intensify its exports to several countries such as Cambodia and Nigeria for assault rifles, Malaysia and Australia to handle riots, South Korea, Singapore, Timor Leste, the Philippines for ammunition, Laos for weapons and ammunition, and several other countries in the Asian region with average sales per year in the range of 5 million USD. Thailand alone is the current main export customer for Pindad since 2006 for small caliber ammunition products.

Pindad has also participated in the UN peace mission by sending Anoa vehicles as of 2010. Currently Anoa Pindad has spread in several regions, such as 24 units in UNAMID as a peace mission in Sudan, 20 units in UNIFIL as a peace mission in Lebanon , 4 units at MINUSCA as peace missions in Central Africa, and 20 units in MONUSCO as peace missions in Congo.

This year Pindad increased its export sales target, with plans to export G2 Elite pistols for Brunei Darussalam, Elite G2, Assault Rifles, and Ammunition for Malaysia, Assault Rifles, Ammunition and Submachine Guns for the Philippines, and ammunition, assault rifles and dragons to United States with a total prognosis of 2018 in the range of 100 million USD.

Pindad's newest product, the Medium Tank, has also been promoted in several countries in the Southeast Asia region and has received a positive response. We hope that in the coming year this product will be able to enter the international market for the leading Pindad in Asia in 2023.

In addition to defense products, Pindad has now also developed Industrial products, namely generators, electric motors, ship equipment, agricultural equipment, and heavy equipment such as excavators, which currently have around 7 units in Palu.

This export activity is a manifestation of our commitment not only to present the figure of BUMN at the global level but also to bring in foreign exchange and multiplier economic effects in the community both in the form of empowering local suppliers and employment.

PT Pindad as a state-owned limited liability company was formed in 1983. The company whose historical roots have been established since the Dutch colonial period, is actively producing various defense equipment for the needs of the TNI, and has also exported a number of superior products such as ammunition, weapons and combat vehicles to the global market. The Medium Tank has also passed the certification test from Dislitbangad with satisfactory test results. Pindad also has a SPR2 Sniper rifle, an anti-material weapon that has high precision and a range of up to 2 km. This weapon has won the BPPT 2018 Innovation Award on August 8, 2018 for innovation in defense and security technology. In addition to producing defense equipment, PT Pindad also has a Directorate that produces industrial machinery and heavy equipment such as excavators, railroad hooks, traction motors, generators, tractors to crane ships.
