DAHANA and EDGE GROUP to Produce TNT and RDX

Indonesian State-owned Enterprise (SOE) and member of the Defence Industry Holding PT DAHANA signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with United Arab Emirates-based ammunition company LAHAB-EDGE GROUP. Two sides will explore cooperation for joint investment in constructing a TNT Factory in DAHANA's Energetic Material Centre (EMC) area. The MoU will pave the way for cooperation in the manufacturing and production of several types of explosives, including propellant and RDX production.

It is planned that Lahab – EDGE will build a TNT Factory in PT DAHANA's Energetic Material Center located in Subang. Additionally, DAHANA and Lahab also explored cooperation in producing propellants and RDX. Previously, DEFEND ID signed a Confidentiality Agreement in August last year and a Master Agreement with EDGE Group in January 2022 to cooperate and evaluate potential strategic partnerships in joint ventures, joint investments, and exploring other collaboration opportunities.
