TINS Strategy to Strengthen Indonesian Tin Quality and Compete with China and Myanmar

Jakarta—Global economic and geopolitical turbulence continues to influence commodity price movements globally, including tin, which currently trades around USD 46,000 per metric ton.

Ilhamsyah Mahendra, Director of Production and Commercial Operations at PT Timah Tbk (TINS), noted that current market volatility has pushed tin prices to positive levels. For TINS, this has driven improved operational performance and sales, resulting in net profit growth exceeding 100% of target.

TINS is leveraging the momentum from rising tin prices, fuelled by increasing demand for tin in semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and data centre applications, by accelerating sales. The company is also focusing on strengthening operational fundamentals, increasing mining equipment productivity, and enhancing synergies across business units whilst maintaining tin ingot quality standards to sustain Indonesian tin’s competitive advantage against competition from China and Myanmar.

The company aims to pursue these strategies to drive sales and business performance throughout 2026.
