New CEO Gudang Garam

The shareholders of PT Gudang Garam Tbk appointed Susilo Wonowidjojo as the President Director and this is deemed preparedness action to compete with the British American Tobacco Plc (BAT).
Susilo Wonowidjajo, last Saturday, replaced Djajusman Surjowijono who resigned from his post last February.
The appointment of Susilo here is in anticipation of the overseas cigarette producer expansion in the country with third largest smokers after China and India. Prior to the appointment as the president director, Susilo was the vice president director from 1990.
