PT Arsari Tambang is promoting tin downstreaming in Bangka Belitung through a strategic partnership with Singapore Asahi Chemical & Solder Industries Pte. Ltd. (Asahi Solder). The partnership is aimed at developing value-added solder products, strengthening technology and quality, and expanding market access for Indonesia's downstream tin products.
The partnership is expected to further strengthen the tin supply chain in Bangka Belitung by increasing demand for raw materials. The move could drive production and absorption of tin ingots from Bangka for downstream industrial needs.
PT Arsari Tambang President Director and Arsari Group Deputy President Director Aryo P. S. Djojohadikusumo said the partnership was part of efforts to build an integrated tin downstreaming ecosystem, spanning mining and processing to the production of value-added products that can enter global industrial supply chains. He emphasized that downstream industry development should deliver greater benefits to tin-producing regions.
“We want to see Bangka Belitung's tin move beyond being a commodity and continue moving up the value chain. By strengthening downstream industries, more value can be created in Indonesia, while also increasing demand for and absorption of tin ingots from Bangka,” he said in an official statement, as quoted on Sunday (September 13, 2026).
Aryo said the partnership was also part of Arsari Group's vision to build an industrial ecosystem for Indonesia's future that connects natural resources, value-added materials, manufacturing and technology.
Arsari Group is currently developing a technology and artificial intelligence ecosystem through RAIA Grid, which it is building together with Indosat. The ecosystem includes connectivity infrastructure, fiber-optic networks, data centers, cloud computing, high-performance computing and artificial intelligence. Arsari Group is also preparing GPU assembly capabilities in Indonesia.
“The technology ecosystem of the future requires a strong industrial supply chain. Therefore, we see the development of tin downstreaming, manufacturing and technology as interconnected components,” Aryo said.
Meanwhile, Singapore Asahi Chemical & Solder Industries Pte. Ltd. President Director Vincent Kho welcomed the partnership. He said Indonesia had significant potential to develop its downstream tin industry.
“We welcome the establishment of this strategic partnership with Arsari Tambang. Indonesia has significant potential to develop its downstream tin industry, and we believe that combining manufacturing capabilities in Indonesia with Asahi Solder's experience in solder products and electronic interconnection materials can create new opportunities to produce higher value-added products and strengthen Indonesia's role in the global electronics industry supply chain,” he said.
