# An Inside Look at PT Cita Mineral Investindo Tbk: Innovation in Indonesia’s Mining Sector
PT Cita Mineral Investindo Tbk (CITA) stands as a prominent pillar in Indonesia’s mining industry, known for its strategic evolution and commitment to mineral downstreaming. Since beginning its commercial operations in 1992, the company has undergone a transformative journey, pivoting from its roots in the furniture industry to become a titan in the bauxite mining and mineral processing sector.
## From Furniture to Mining: A Strategic Transformation
The company’s shift in focus began in 2005 when it entered the bauxite mining industry through a share participation in PT Harita Prima Abadi Mineral. This strategic pivot led to a rebranding on May 2, 2007, when the company officially changed its name from PT Cipta Panel Utama Tbk to PT Cita Mineral Investindo Tbk. This change marked the beginning of its reputation as one of the most influential bauxite producers in the Indonesian market.
## Pioneering Mineral Downstreaming in Indonesia
In line with the Indonesian government’s mandate to increase the value of raw mineral products, CITA took a major step forward in 2013 by initiating the construction of a Smelter Grade Alumina (SGA) facility in West Kalimantan. This ambitious project reached fruition in 2016, establishing CITA as the pioneer of SGA production in Indonesia through its associate entity, PT Well Harvest Winning Alumina Refinery (WHW).
The ownership structure of PT WHW reflects a robust international collaboration:
* PT Cita Mineral Investindo Tbk: 30%
* China Hongqiao Group Limited: 56%
