People
who move
the world's
resources
forward.
Resources are extracted from the ground.
Value is built by people.
We never forget which matters more.
The faces
behind the work.
Four pillars.
One integrated vision.
01
Mining & Supply
Long-cycle bauxite mining and supply across Guinea, Indonesia and Malaysia — supported by local teams and long-term relationships with concession owners, communities and authorities.
02
Physical Trading
A Singapore-based physical commodity trading platform with deep experience in bauxite, coal and selected minerals across Asia-Pacific markets.
03
Marine & Logistics
From road access to port operations, barging, vessel coordination and shipment execution — our logistics capabilities give us greater control across the supply chain.
04
Strategic Ventures
Investments that build resilience beyond commodity cycles — downstream aluminium, industrial infrastructure, decarbonisation, technology and adjacent value-chain opportunities.

Stewards for the
Next Generation.
"We are stewards, not owners. Our work is to carry these resources forward — with the generation that comes after us in mind."
People have always come first at TOP. Wherever we operate, we work to become a contributing member of the places we join, not simply to be present within them. We lead with boldness where the moment demands it, respect for those we work alongside, and an understanding that what we build today must stand up to the generation that inherits it tomorrow.
A heritage in materials.
Our first generation built operating expertise and a partner network in the Indonesian bauxite trade — a quiet, long-cycle inheritance that would shape everything to come.
Founding TOP — and becoming Malaysia's largest bauxite exporter.
In 2014, led by our CEO Dato' Victor Tan, the second generation founded TOP International. Within a year, we were Malaysia's largest bauxite exporter — and the work that defines the company today had begun.
Setting roots in West Africa.
In 2016, we ventured into Guinea — establishing a contract mining operation, becoming the first and only non-MNC mining operator in the country. The move marked TOP's first chapter as a global resources business.
Becoming an integrated business.
Through the late 2010s and early 2020s, we diversified into coal, copper, iron ore and nickel, and built proprietary port and road infrastructure in Guinea — turning a trading business into a vertically integrated one.
Scaling for the next decade.
With Kimbo Port Phase 2 complete in 2023, and new global partnerships forged through 2024, the company now ships at scale to buyers across the world — and is investing in the new ventures that will carry us through the next chapter.
Our shared earth,
a shared duty.
We rehabilitate every hectare we touch. We replant what we remove. We reach out to communities we can support. We measure, report and hold ourselves accountable — because the communities around our operations deserve it, and the world is our shared home.

We invest where
we operate.
Rooted in the belief that a business and its surrounding community either rise together or fall apart, TOP's community investment is direct, personal and led from the top — a core commitment wherever we work.
Restoring what we take from the earth.
Investing in the next generation.
Kindness as a business practice.
Five countries.
One vision.
