[SMM Aluminum Express News] At the World Expo 2025 in Osaka, Indonesia’s state-owned aluminum company, PT Indonesia Asahan Aluminium (INALUM), has taken a significant step in globalizing its downstream aluminum strategy. The company formally signed a Heads of Agreement (HoA) with the energy and commodities giant Vitol. Simultaneously, INALUM engaged with major international firms like Tiberius, Honda, and Panasonic to explore strategic investments.

This series of agreements focuses on developing Indonesia’s entire bauxite-to-aluminum ecosystem and expanding its market reach, particularly in Japan. INALUM’s President Director, Melati Sarnita, emphasized that these partnerships go beyond mere capital investment. They represent a long-term commitment to building a low-carbon aluminum industry, supporting the global clean energy transition, and creating new jobs and markets for Indonesia.

The signings, witnessed by representatives from Panasonic and others, were followed by business matching discussions centered on creating a sustainable supply chain for Indonesian aluminum. This move is a core part of INALUM’s larger corporate actions, which include optimizing its existing smelters and building new production facilities. Held at the eco-friendly Indonesia Pavilion, these deals underscore the nation’s ambition to thrive in the global green economy, attracting both investment and international confidence in its industrial future.
