Molay Draws Interest from Jordanian Armed Forces, Opens Door to Middle Eastern Market

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Indonesian-made tactical gear produced by PT Molay Satrya Indonesia has attracted the attention of the Jordanian Armed Forces (JAF).

This development comes amid strengthening ties between Indonesia and Jordan under President Prabowo Subianto’s leadership, opening opportunities for the two countries to expand cooperation across various sectors, including defense.

"Following their visit, JAF has shown interest and a positive response. They are currently requesting several product samples," said Arie Setya Yudha, President Director of PT Molay Satrya Indonesia, after hosting several JAF delegates at Molay's office in South Jakarta on Saturday (19/9/2026).

The JAF delegation included Brigadier General Mohammad Almahaireh, also the Director of Logistic Supply; Belal Elaimat, Head of Logistic Support Branch; Raed Alabadi, Commander of the Ordinance Battalion; and CSM Salem B. Mostafa, The Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman (SEAC).

According to Arie, the JAF visit was a crucial opportunity for Molay to open communications and explore chances to expand Indonesian products into the Middle Eastern market.

"They requested several of Molay’s flagship products such as boots, camouflage fabric designs, hats, and battle guards. We hope this marks the beginning of a cooperative commitment between the two countries," Arie explained.

Given Jordan's distinct geographical and environmental conditions compared to Indonesia, the military equipment requirements may have specific specifications.

Therefore, materials, design, comfort, and durability are tailored to meet those needs.

In addition to offering products developed for the needs of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) and the National Police (Polri), Molay is open to co-developing products with JAF.

"One of the introduced products is the tactical boots, which have become a premier Molay product and have supported TNI needs for around five years," he said.

Beyond footwear, Molay also showcased Battle Dress Uniforms (BDUs) and various other tactical equipment that can be customized accordingly.

On the same occasion, Brigadier General Mohammad Almahaireh of JAF expressed a positive response after visiting Indonesia.

He stated that Jordan needs tactical gear that can meet troop requirements in accordance with the climate and terrain of their combat environments, standardized to their national specifications.

"After visiting Molay, we are pleased to see its rapid development and ability to produce customized products. This naturally opens the door for collaboration," he said.
