Special Economic Zone, PT D&V International Makmur Gemilang, launched its
first export product in the form of hospital beds and furniture with the
Platinum Inspiration brand. The release of the first export was held at their
factory located in the Kendal Industrial Park by releasing the first three
containers, dispatched to the Tanjung Mas Port of Semarang with the aim of
exporting Malaysia.
PT D&V International Makmur Gemilang itself is part of the DV
Medika Group which has long experience in the medical device industry since
1999. On that occasion, Steven Lee as CEO of DV Medika said that after being
established for more than 20 years as a manufacturer of medical devices from
Indonesia, finally they can realize their dream of reaching the global market
with the Platinum Inspiration brand. "We are really grateful to be able to
carry out our first export in the midst of the atmosphere of Indonesia's
independence month. We are proud to be able to make Indonesia proud through
local products that have successfully competed in the international market.
With the Platinum Inspiration brand, we hope to inspire the medical device and
pharmaceutical industries to remain optimistic and jointly promote medical
device products from our own country," he said.

Medical Devices and PKRT of the Indonesian Ministry of Health), during the
pandemic, the need for medical devices is quite high, but around 87 percent of
the availability of medical devices in Indonesia is still dominated by imported
products. “Hospital beds are included in the top 10 types of medical devices
with the largest consumption. Therefore, the government hopes that the medical
device and pharmaceutical industry will advance, so it can meet national needs
with domestic production," said Sodikin Sadek virtually at the PT D&V
International Makmur Gemilang Initial Export ceremony.
The ceremony was also attended by Drg. Arianti Anaya, MKM (Plt.
