PT Dahana has further solidified its role within the national defense industry ecosystem through an official visit from the Defense Management Education and Training Center (Pusdiklat Jemenhan) to the Dahana Campus in Subang on Tuesday, October 15, 2025.

Therefore, Dahana actively seeks opportunities for collaboration with various institutions to build a resilient and sustainable defense ecosystem,” Mr Jajuli stated.

Colonel Wibowo expressed gratitude for Dahana’s significant role in bolstering Indonesia’s defense system through innovative explosives products. He highlighted the importance of the visit in strengthening the connection between educational institutions and the industry, which is vital for developing a robust defense network.

“Thank you for the warm welcome extended to Jemenhan by Dahana. We view Dahana not merely as an industry partner but as an integral component of a vibrant national defense system. We hope this visit will enhance the relationship between our institutions in developing an advanced defense strategy,” Colonel Wibowo emphasized.
