Nanshan Aluminum is expanding into downstream production with a new 250,000-ton electrolytic aluminum project in Indonesia. Scheduled to begin preparations in 2026, the facility requires an investment of US$437 million over a two-year construction period.

The plant will sit within the Galang Batang Special Economic Zone on Bintan Island, leveraging the group's existing alumina operations nearby.

Looking ahead, Nanshan Aluminum plans to add another 500,000 tons of annual capacity to scale its presence further. This move aims to capture rising market demand and improve profit margins by creating a complete supply chain. The group believes their local operational expertise and the site's proximity to major shipping lanes provide a strong competitive edge.
