VDNI strengthens competitiveness amidst global market dynamics
Jakarta (ANTARA) - PT Virtue Dragon Nickel Industry (VDNI) continues to strengthen its operational fundamentals and prepare a foundation for sustainable growth amidst the dynamics of the global nickel industry.
A VDNI press release received in Jakarta on Friday stated that in 2026, the company will focus its strategic steps on strengthening productivity and operational efficiency, green transformation, occupational safety, and strengthening relationships and collaboration with communities around its operational areas.
The year 2025 has been a challenging period for the global nickel industry. International trade dynamics, United States tariff policies, the weakening of stainless steel prices, and nickel price movements on the London Metal Exchange (LME) and Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) have exerted pressure on the global nickel processing industry.
Amidst these conditions, the company has been able to maintain operational resilience and record positive performance in 2025 compared to 2024. This achievement was supported by operational discipline, increased efficiency, optimisation of production processes, and increasingly integrated coordination across various company lines.
This performance resilience is also reflected in the Company’s ability to continue recording profits despite market pressures throughout the year.
Entering the second half of 2026, VDNI is continuing efforts to increase the stability and reliability of production processes. Productivity improvements are being carried out through process optimisation, operational efficiency, strengthening facility reliability, and more integrated coordination across all lines.
This move is aimed at maintaining production performance sustainably while strengthening the company’s competitiveness amidst developments in the global nickel industry.
By the end of 2026, several strategic steps will be the company’s focus, namely maintaining stability and increasing productivity, accelerating low-carbon green logistics transformation, strengthening community collaboration and empowerment, as well as reinforcing safety culture and performance.
Moving forward, the company will continue to maintain a balance between productivity, efficiency, safety, green transformation, and shared development with the community as part of the effort to build healthy and sustainable performance.
