We were awarded the order as a supplier for Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) El Abra Project located in Chile. The $7.5 billion expansion of its copper mine aims to extend the mine's useful life by approximately 40 years and increase annual copper production by more than 300,000 metric tons— a significant increase from the current 91,400 tons. Planned infrastructure includes the construction of a new concentrator plant, a desalination facility with water transport system, additional tailings storage, and a mine expansion while maintaining existing leaching operations. 

Strengthening Long-Term Supply Partnership for Freeport's El Abra Project in Chile

Together with Freeport McMoRan, we are carrying out the continuous supply of critical valves and raw materials for the El Abra project. Once fully executed, our sustained material flow will support El Abra's ongoing copper extracting and processing operations, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum operational reliability. We are leading our local supply chain integration, including demand forecasting, quality assurance, logistics coordination, and just-in-time delivery to one of the most challenging mining environments in the Atacama region. This partnership serves as an exemplary model that strengthens cross-continental industrial cooperation between Chile and our global supply network, while promoting the development of reliable, long-lead material supply standards for the mining industry.

Freeport-McMoRan Inc is a leading international mining company with headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona.
