PT Dahana received a prestigious award at the “PRMN (Pikiran Rakyat Media Network) Award 2025.” This honor was given in recognition of PT Dahana’s ability to adapt, innovate, and provide positive contributions to the community. The award ceremony took place at the Harris Hotel & Conventions Festival Citylink in Bandung on Friday, December 5, 2025.
Abdul Haris Atbaro, PT Dahana’s Director of Operations, welcomed this recognition from the largest media network in West Java. He stated that this award reflects Dahana’s commitment not only to profit but also to growing and developing alongside the community.
“We express our deepest gratitude to Pikiran Rakyat Media Network for this 2025 PRMN Award. This recognition certainly motivates PT Dahana to continue serving the nation through innovative explosives technology while providing benefits to the community,” said Mr Atbaro.
One of the highlighted products is Dayagel, a pioneering domestically produced primary explosive known for its proven quality. Dayagel is a cartridge emulsion explosive that is sensitive to detonators, boasts high energy, and is highly water-resistant.
This innovation from Dahana’s Energetic Material Center (EMC) is highly reliable for various blasting operations, including general mining for coal, gold, and other minerals, as well as quarrying in the cement industry and the extraction of andesite or limestone. Dayagel products have also been exported.
Furthermore, Dahana’s Dayagel plays a significant role in accelerating various National Strategic Projects (PSN), such as dam construction, land clearing for toll roads, and underground mining for tunnel construction. These projects are expected to yield substantial positive benefits for the community.
Mr Atbaro emphasized that Dahana’s innovation extends beyond its products. The company continually seeks to innovate across its corporate structure, management systems, and services to provide the best for Indonesia.
“This achievement would not have been possible without the hard work of everyone involved. I would like to express my gratitude to the board of commissioners, management, and all Dahana employees for their dedication. I also want to sincerely thank our customers for their trust in our products, which has enabled Dahana to receive this award,” Mr Atbaroconcluded.
