The collaboration is carried out to develop new gold products as part of the Company's strategies for gold commodities.
In this cooperation, ANTAM through AJSI with Hartadinata will develop 0.1 gram and 0.25 gram of fine gold (99.99%) microbar in gift series and premium packaging, as well as 24 carat jewelries, whose raw material comes from ANTAM’s Precious Metal Processing and Refinery Business Unit. The POC collaboration with Hartadinata will commence from July 1 to December 31, 2021, with a possibility for an extension in a longer period.
Gold microbars are a premium gold investment solution in modest quantity that is affordable to the Indonesian community, while 24 carat jewelries are the latest advancement in investment products with innovative and various designs that are wearable.
The cooperation in developing microbars and 24 carat jewelries is in line with ANTAM's strategy to focus in developing the precious-metal customer base in the domestic market, particularly for the gold microbars market segment which has not been tapped into by the Company. Additionally, the strategy responds to the growing public awareness in gold investment and the development of gold demand in the domestic market.
