Virtue Dragon Nickel Ltd

PT Virtue Dragon Nickel Industry (VDNI) is a foreign private company from China engaged in the processing and refining (smelting) of nickel ore. It serves as a main pillar of the growth of Indonesia's modern nickel industry, operating a world-class nickel smelting complex in Morosi, Konawe, Southeast Sulawesi. Using advanced Rotary Kiln-Electric Furnace (RKEF) technology oriented towards controlling environmental impact, the company drives the national mineral downstreaming strategy by converting raw ore into high-value ferronickel. Backed by China First Heavy Industries (CFHI), which is managed by the Chinese central government, VDNI successfully produced and exported nickel ore for the first time in 2017 and continues to strengthen its position as a company that significantly increases local production capacity of raw nickel ore and strengthens Indonesia's position in the global nickel supply chain.
