Southeast Asia Increases Copper Smelting Capacity

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The surge in copper smelting capacity across Southeast Asia is being led by Indonesia's substantial capacity expansion efforts.

At present, Indonesia is actively pursuing two grassroot projects through PT Amman Mineral Industri and PT Freeport Indonesia, in addition to the ongoing expansion of PT Smelting's established copper smelting facility. Similarly, Vietnam's Vimico - Lao Cai Copper Smelter is preparing to amplify its copper metal production. This wave of expansion aligns seamlessly with the escalating demand for copper metal, which is indispensable for producing copper foils and copper wires utilized in electric vehicle (EV) batteries and EVs.
