The first smelting facility was established in Singapore in 1887<br />
and the second facility was built in Butterworth in 1902. Both<br />
facilities ran concurrently for many years until the closure of<br />
the Singapore unit while the Butterworth unit was rebuilt and<br />
restarted in 1955 after it was heavily damaged during the<br />
Second World War. In 2002 the Company acquired PT Koba<br />
Tin in Indonesia and increased its reverberatory furnaces to<br />
four with an expanded smelting capacity of 25,000 tonnes per<br />
annum. Together with the Butterworth facility, the Division now<br />
has an overall smelting capacity of about 60,000 tonnes in two<br />
countries.<br />
In the mid 90’s the Group started a tin marketing and trading<br />
arm under the Smelting Division. The downstream unit provides<br />
the Group with hedging, pricing and marketing linkages to the<br />
KLTM/LME markets as well as the end-user markets worldwide.<br />
The division produced a total of 46,599 tonnes refined tin in<br />
2011 representing almost 13% of the world production.<br />
