On 6th January, a delegation from Malaysia Smelting Corporation (MSC), led by Executive Chairman Madam Chew Gek Khim, visited Yunnan Tin Company Limited (YTC) for discussions and exchanges on developments in the global tin industry.
During the visit, MSC met with YTC’s management team, led by Chairman Mr Liu Luke. YTC shared an overview of its evolution as the world’s leading tin producer, including its operational profile, production capacity, and ongoing efforts in digitalisation and use of innovative technologies. YTC welcomed the delegation and expressed willingness open to collaboration to jointly explore opportunities across the global tin value chain.
MSC signalled an interest in learning from YTC’s experience in resource development, smelting technologies, and market strategies. The Malaysian delegation thanked YTC for sharing its valuable insights and highlighted the potential for further cooperation to promote the stable and positive development of the tin industry.
Our view: Ongoing collaboration and cooperation in the tin industry to overcome its challenges is a positive step, and ITA is pleased to see its members working together to secure a sustainable future.
Yunnan Tin Company and Malaysia Smelting Corporation are Members of the International Tin Association.
