Pindad
PT Pindad (Persero) (formerly abbreviated from Perindustrian Angkatan Darat, lit. 'Indonesian Army Industries'), is an Indonesian state-owned enterprise specialising in military and commercial products. Pindad provides the armaments and munitions (alat utama sistem persenjataan, Alutsista) for the Indonesian National Armed Forces and other uniformed agencies mainly to support the defense and security capabilities of the Republic of Indonesia.
Aside from its defense industry, Pindad also produces industrial products for other fields such as transportation and commercial explosives. Pindad's activities include design, development, engineering and fabrication as well as maintenance.
In 1808, Governor-General Daendels ordered the establishment of workshops for materiel, munitions, and weaponry maintenance named Constructiewinkel (CW) in Surabaya, which acted as a precursor to the defense industry in Indonesia. He also instructed the establishment of an artillery workshop known as Projektiel Fabriek (PF). The government further established naval materiel and explosives factory named Pyrotechnische Werkplaats (PW) in 1850. On 1 January 1851, PW was renamed Artillerie Constructie Winkel.
During the period 1923–1932, workshops in Surabaya were moved to Bandung and merged into a single entity named Artillerie Inrichtingen (AI). During Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies, ACW was renamed 第一構造 Dai Ichi Kozo (DIK). And afterward it was renamed Leger Productie Bedrijven (LPB).
On 29 April 1950, following the agreement on Dutch–Indonesian Round Table Conference, whereas Netherlands transferred sovereignty to United States of Indonesia, the Netherlands Ministry of Defense also transferred LPB to the Indonesian National Armed Forces and the Ministry of Defense. LPB was later renamed Pabrik Senjata dan Mesiu (PSM) and its management was entrusted to the Indonesian Army, making it a nationalized military industrial firm.
PSM was renamed Pabrik Alat Peralatan Angkatan Darat (Pabal AD) in 1958, and in 1962 as Perindustrian TNI Angkatan Darat (Pindad).
In 2020, Pindad was reported to have exported Indonesian-made ammunition to Myanmar.
During the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia, PT. Pindad developed a ventilator prototype to be used as a breathing aid for COVID-19 patients. As the number of patients rose and demand for medical equipment in the country skyrocketed, Pindad produced and distributed inexpensive ventilators to hospitals across Indonesia.
