Earlier we told you about the world’s largest mining company BHP. Today we are going to take you closer to home by looking into the operations of a Singapore-grown minerals and resource company.
With a global footprint spanning across countries in Southeast Asia and West Africa, TOP International Holding is an integrated producer of bauxite – or a mineral used to produce aluminium – and offers end-to-end service that includes exploration, mining, marketing, trading logistics and delivery.
The company has grown much since its inception in 2014, with over 250 employees in five countries.
It is also emphasising on diversification, having expanded its trading portfolio to include commodities such as iron ore, copper cathode, sand and coal.
