China’s Nanshan Group has unveiled plans to invest more than $6 billion to establish a wholly-owned subsidiary and a massive aluminum industrial park on Bintan Island, part of Indonesia’s Riau Islands Province. The move marks a strategic effort to tap into Indonesia’s rich natural resources and low-cost energy to build a vertically integrated aluminum supply chain.
The park Bintan Nanshan Industrial Zone, will span 1,338 hectares and is jointly developed by Nanshan Aluminum Singapore, Indonesia’s Redstone Mining, and Malaysia’s Press Metal.
🔧 Project Highlights:
The integrated complex will be built in phases, including:
* A 2,860 MW coal power plant
* A facility to produce 2 million tons of alumina annually
* A 1 million ton/year aluminum smelter
* A 20 million ton year seaport
This closed-loop model aims to streamline upstream, midstream, and downstream operations—reducing costs, boosting efficiency, and enabling sustainable industrial growth.
🌱 Sustainability First:
In line with global HSE (Health, Safety, and Environmental) standards, the project will prioritize:
Cleaner production technologies
Smart energy use
Waste reduction and recycling
Nanshan says the park is part of its commitment to green, low-carbon development and a key piece in its Belt and Road Initiative engagement.
🌍 Global Footprint:
Already active in the U.S., Australia, Italy, Singapore, and Hong Kong, Nanshan is doubling down on its international strategy—with this Bintan hub set to accelerate Indonesia’s industrial upgrade and local job creation.
🔎 Market Insight: Takeaways for Chinese Investors Entering Indonesia
1. Resource-Based Industrial Parks Are Trending
Nanshan’s Bintan project mirrors a wider Chinese investment trend in Indonesia, focused on:
Deep processing of alumina and aluminum
Mining rights (especially for bauxite)
Infrastructure such as power plants and ports
2. Green Manufacturing & Tech Export Matter
Compliance with international HSE standards is no longer optional. Projects now emphasize:
Health: worker safety, occupational health programs
Safety: site risk management, emergency protocols
Environment: emissions control, energy efficiency, and mandatory AMDAL (Environmental Impact Assessment)
📌 Pro Tip for Foreign Investors:
To set up a factory in Indonesia, you’ll need to navigate local JV regulations, secure environmental permits (AMDAL), and align your operations with the country’s ESG priorities. Strategic local partnerships are key.
