In Indonesia, GEM has adopted a distinctive model that integrates industry, technology, and culture to establish a world-leading “Technology + Green + Smart” nickel processing facility as alighthouse factory. Its nickel project, with an annual capacity of 150,000-ton is among the world’s largest and is supported by downstream production lines including 50,000 tons of ternary precursor materials, 30,000 tons of nickel-cobalt-manganese sulfate crystals, 30,000 tons of electrolytic nickel, 5,000 tons of cobalt tetroxide, and 5,000 tons of nickel hydroxide.

This production ecosystem has enabled GEM to build a fully integrated supply chain from nickel laterite ore to advanced battery materials, realizing its industrial philosophy of “input nickel laterite, output battery materials.”

Beyond industrial development, GEM has launched initiatives to support talent development in Indonesia. The company has worked with Indonesian government and Central South University to run five batches of a graduate-level engineering program training 266 Indonesian graduate-level professionals to date. In parallel, GEM and Central South University have jointly funded the establishment of a world-class China-Indonesia Joint Research Laboratory for New Energy Materials and Metallurgical Engineering Technology at the Bandung Institute of Technology. The company has also proposed a “Talent Development Initiative” to cultivate future Indonesian experts, achieving a synergy of going global and embedding locally, becoming a model for “growing together with Indonesia.
