PT DAHANA is a state-owned enterprise in Indonesia that specializes in the production and provision of high-energy materials, particularly explosives. The company plays a strategic role in supporting various sectors such as general mining, quarrying, construction, oil and gas, and defense. DAHANA is part of DEFEND ID, the defense industry holding formed by the Indonesian government to consolidate and strengthen the country’s defense-related manufacturing capabilities. The company’s headquarters is located in Subang, West Java, where it operates a modern Energetic Material Center that serves as the hub for its manufacturing and research activities.
The origins of DAHANA trace back to 1966 when it was established as a project under the Indonesian Air Force known as Proyek Menang. This initiative aimed to develop domestic capabilities in explosive materials to reduce reliance on imports and enhance national defense readiness. In 1973, DAHANA was officially designated as a public company through Government Regulation No. 36/1973. Later, in 1991, it transitioned into a limited liability company, marking a new phase in its corporate development. Over the years, DAHANA has expanded its business lines to include explosives manufacturing, drilling and blasting services, related logistics and support services, and defense-related products and solutions.
DAHANA’s product portfolio includes a wide range of commercial and military-grade explosives. Among its well-known brands are Dayagel, Dayadet, DANFO, and DABEX, which are used in various applications from mining operations to demolition and defense. The company also offers integrated blasting services, including drilling, explosive loading, and detonation, tailored to the specific needs of its clients. In addition, DAHANA provides services for the destruction, transportation, and storage of explosive materials, ensuring compliance with safety and regulatory standards.
In the defense sector, DAHANA contributes to the development of national defense capabilities by supplying explosives and related technologies to the Indonesian Armed Forces. The company collaborates with other members of DEFEND ID to support the government’s strategic objectives in defense modernization and self-reliance. DAHANA’s expertise in energetic materials positions it as a key player in the regional defense industry, with aspirations to expand its footprint beyond Indonesia.
Financially, DAHANA has demonstrated robust performance. In 2023, the company reported revenues of approximately IDR 3.92 trillion and a net profit of IDR 458.46 billion. Its total assets reached IDR 4.34 trillion, with equity standing at IDR 2.5 trillion. These figures reflect the company’s strong market position and operational efficiency. DAHANA employs over 1,300 personnel, comprising engineers, technicians, and administrative staff who contribute to its diverse operations across the country.
DAHANA’s commitment to innovation is evident in its investment in research and development. The Energetic Material Center in Subang serves as a center for technological advancement, where the company develops new formulations, improves production processes, and enhances product safety and performance. This facility also supports training and education initiatives aimed at building expertise in explosive technologies among Indonesian professionals.
The company adheres to principles of sustainability and corporate social responsibility. It implements environmental management systems to minimize the impact of its operations and engages in community development programs in areas surrounding its facilities. DAHANA promotes safety culture across its workforce and maintains rigorous standards in handling hazardous materials.
As part of its strategic vision, DAHANA seeks to strengthen its position in the domestic market while exploring opportunities for international expansion. The company aims to leverage its technical capabilities, strategic partnerships, and government support to become a leading provider of energetic materials in Southeast Asia.
