Director Naveen Chandralal said the move marks a strategic step following the company’s transformation across the copper value chain.
“As the first ICA member from Southeast Asia, we aim to contribute Indonesia’s perspective to global discussions on copper’s future,” he said.
The ICA promotes copper’s value, protects markets and strengthens demand as a key material for a sustainable future.

The association has 39 members across six continents, representing more than 50 percent of global copper production.
The membership reflects Amman’s commitment to responsible production and supporting copper’s role in electrification and the global energy transition.
Indonesia, Southeast Asia’s largest economy, is playing an increasingly important role in regional and global supply chains.
ICA Chair Steven Rowland and CEO Juan Ignacio Diaz welcomed Amman’s membership.
“We are pleased to welcome Amman, whose focus on mining technology strengthens copper’s role in a rapidly evolving world,” Rowland said.
The membership coincides with Amman’s transition into a fully integrated mining-to-refining company following the start of operations at its new smelter and precious metals refinery.
