ITRI is pleased to announce that the recently appointed President Director of PT Timah, M. Riza Pahlevi Tabrani, has agreed to participate in a panel discussion on key issues with other tin industry leaders at the Asia Tin Summit meeting to be held in Shanghai on 22-23 November.
The panel will be chaired by Lucy Hornby of the Financial Times and already includes Yunnan Tin Company General Manager Li Gang and Inge Hofkens, Chief Sales Officer of Metallo Chimique. YTC and PT Timah are the world’s two largest integrated tin producers and Metallo Chimique is the biggest tin recycler. The panel will be completed by ITRI’s Managing Director David Bishop and chief analyst Peter Kettle.
Lucy Hornby is deputy bureau chief for the Financial Times in Beijing, specializing in energy, commodities and agriculture. She previously covered China for Reuters from Shanghai and Beijing. She has reported from all of China’s provinces and regions.
Some of the topics likely to be covered will be:
• Tin production prospects by region
• Sustainability issues
• Downstream customer demands for responsible production
• Threats and opportunities for tin use due to technological change
The panel discussion is likely to be one of the highlights of the inaugural Asia Tin Week, which is expected to attract some 300 delegates from China and the rest of the world.
