JAKARTA - Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir honorably dismissed General TNI Andika Perkasa from the position of President Commissioner of PT Pindad (Persero). Instead, Erick appointed Dudung Abdurachman.

This was done because Andika has now served as the TNI Commander. The decision to replace the President Commissioner of PT Pindad was announced at the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (EGMS) which was held last Thursday, December 23.

"It is hoped that your joining as the President Commissioner of PT Pindad (Persero) will provide additional support to improve future performance," said Deputy Minister of SOEs Pahala Mansury in a written statement.

Pindad management appreciates Andika's dedication while serving as the main commissioner. On the other hand, Pindad now also welcomes Dudung's presence in the President Commissioner position.

"The company congratulates on joining the new President Commissioner, General TNI Dudung Abdurachman so that PT Pindad (Persero) can continue to build the company towards a strong, independent, competitive, and more advanced defense industry," explained the company.

Dudung was also grateful for the appointment. He also asked for support and cooperation from the board of commissioners and directors to advance the corporation.

"I hope that in the future PT Pindad can become a large company with superior and competitive products in supporting national development and maintaining national sovereignty," he said.
