With hands-on experience managing Indonesian mining and processing operations, he is responsible for production scheduling, site coordination, and ensuring consistent delivery across Hendstone's commodity verticals.
A mining engineer with extensive operational experience across Indonesian extraction and production environments. Awal has held senior production leadership roles across Sulawesi, overseeing extraction scheduling, site management, and output quality assurance. His technical grounding in Indonesian mining operations underpins Hendstone's extraction capability and on-site standards.
Idawati brings extensive experience in Indonesian commodity supply chain coordination and stakeholder management. With a background spanning operational communications, government liaison, and logistics coordination across the mining sector, she oversees Hendstone's end-to-end export management, from inland transport through to international delivery and documentation.

On the Ground
Hendstone manages the complete commodity trade cycle from extraction through to international export and delivery. Our operational footprint spans Indonesia's key resource-producing regions, with our primary base centred on Sulawesi for nickel, Kalimantan and Sumatra for coal, and Sumatra, Java, and Sulawesi for coffee.
Direct access to government-licensed mining concessions in Sulawesi for nickel, established mining operations in Kalimantan and Sumatra for coal, and sourcing networks across key coffee-growing regions.
Nickel ore is smelted at RKEF and HPAL facilities in Sulawesi, producing NPI, ferronickel, and battery-grade intermediates. Coal and coffee are graded to meet international buyer specifications.
Processed commodities are transported via established logistics networks to deepwater ports for shipment to contracted international buyers in China, India, and the wider Asian market.
All commodities are subject to independent third-party inspection before shipment, including chemical analysis for nickel, calorific value testing for coal, and grading for coffee. Independent reports accompany all shipment documentation.
All operations are conducted under valid government concessions and export licences with full regulatory compliance, including KYC/AML screening, customs procedures, and Domestic Market Obligation requirements for coal.
Operational Regions
Primary operational base for nickel. Home to Indonesia's largest nickel deposits, 49 RKEF smelters, and 5 HPAL processing facilities. Also produces the prized Sulawesi Toraja coffee variety.
Indonesia's largest coal-producing region, with established mining infrastructure, river barge networks, and deepwater port access for high-volume thermal coal export.
Major source of thermal coal and Indonesian coffee, producing approximately 75% of the country's Robusta output from South Sumatra and Lampung.
Corporate headquarters at SENTRAL SENAYAN II. Commercial, financial, and administrative centre for investor relations, business development, and strategic coordination.
Our Network
Hendstone's business model is built on established partnerships spanning the entire Indonesian commodity value chain. These relationships are the product of over two decades of direct engagement by Hendstone's founding CEO, Hendrawan, providing access and execution capability that cannot be replicated without an established in-country presence.
All nickel extraction is conducted under valid government mining concessions (IUP) in Sulawesi, governed by Indonesia's Mineral and Coal Mining Law. Concessions provide legal certainty of access, defined resource boundaries, and regulatory assurance for each trade cycle.
Commodity output is pre-sold to contracted Chinese industrial buyers through established off-take agreements. These relationships provide revenue certainty and eliminate spot-market price speculation. Volume, specification, pricing, and delivery terms are agreed in advance.
Established relationships with RKEF and HPAL smelting operations in Sulawesi provide confirmed processing capacity to convert nickel ore into NPI, ferronickel, and battery-grade intermediates required by international industrial buyers.
Hendstone coordinates with trusted inland transport operators, barge companies, port authorities, stevedoring firms, and international shipping lines across Sulawesi, Kalimantan, and Sumatra to manage the full export logistics chain.
Market Opportunity
Basel III/IV banking reforms have created a global trade finance gap estimated at $2.5 trillion annually (Asian Development Bank). Indonesian mining operations with valid concessions and contracted buyers face particular difficulty accessing affordable credit through traditional banking channels.
Hendstone fills this structural gap by providing trade finance directly to concession-backed operations with established export licences and confirmed off-take agreements, connecting private capital with real-economy commodity production backed by tangible assets and contracted demand.
Hendstone maintains active, on-the-ground engagement with every partner in the value chain, from site visits to concession areas through to direct coordination with smelter operators, shipping agents, and port authorities.
What We Trade
Indonesia is one of the world's most resource-abundant nations. Its natural endowment in strategic minerals, energy commodities, and agricultural products positions it at the centre of global supply chains serving China, the wider Asia-Pacific, and international markets. Hendstone operates across three Indonesian commodity verticals, each underpinned by strong structural demand, established export infrastructure, and Hendstone's direct operational access.

Indonesia controls approximately 55% of global nickel mine production and holds the world's largest reserves. Battery-grade processed nickel sourced from Hendstone's Sulawesi mining concessions feeds directly into China's EV battery and stainless steel supply chains.

The world's fourth-largest coffee producer and a leading Robusta origin, Indonesia produced over 11 million bags in 2025/26. Hendstone sources from Sumatra, Java, and Sulawesi for international wholesale and China's rapidly expanding café market.
View details →Hendstone's founding team brings over two decades of on-the-ground Indonesian commodity trading experience. Our direct relationships with government concession holders, established logistics corridors, and contracted off-take agreements with Chinese industrial buyers position us to capture value across each commodity cycle, from extraction through to international delivery.
How We Operate
Hendstone provides a vertically integrated suite of commodity services designed to connect Indonesian natural resource producers with international markets. From specialist brokerage and trade intermediation through to full-cycle export logistics, our capabilities span every stage of the commodity trade chain, ensuring that each transaction is sourced, documented, transported, and delivered to the standards expected by institutional buyers and international counterparties.
Our service model is built on three foundations: over two decades of direct operational access to Indonesian mining and agricultural sectors, established relationships with both producers and industrial buyers across Asia, and the structured finance and capital markets expertise to design and execute commodity trade programmes at scale.

Specialist buy-side and sell-side intermediation across nickel, coal, and coffee. We connect Indonesian producers operating under government concessions with contracted international buyers, managing sourcing, negotiation, pricing, contract execution, and counterparty relationships across the full transaction lifecycle.

End-to-end export management from Indonesian extraction and processing sites to international delivery points. Inland transport, port coordination, customs and export documentation, ocean freight, and destination delivery, managed by a team with deep operational knowledge of Indonesia's commodity export infrastructure.
Learn more →International commodity buyers face significant barriers when sourcing directly from Indonesian producers: regulatory complexity, fragmented supply chains, language and cultural distance, documentation requirements, and the operational challenge of coordinating extraction, processing, and logistics across a vast archipelago. Hendstone removes these barriers. Our Jakarta-based team, led by founding partners with decades of Indonesian commodity experience, provides international buyers with a single, reliable point of access to Indonesian supply, backed by government concession relationships, established logistics infrastructure, and institutional-grade documentation and reporting.

Buy-Side & Sell-Side Intermediation
Hendstone acts as a specialist intermediary connecting Indonesian commodity producers with international industrial buyers across Asia. Our brokerage services span the full transaction lifecycle, from sourcing and counterparty identification through to contract negotiation, pricing, execution, and ongoing relationship management.
Hendstone represents Indonesian mining and agricultural producers who hold valid government concessions and export licences. Many producers, particularly in the nickel and coal sectors, operate at significant scale but lack the international commercial infrastructure or buyer networks to access premium markets directly. Hendstone bridges this gap with direct access to contracted buyers, structured pricing, and the documentation required for international trade. Our sell-side relationships are built on over two decades of on-the-ground engagement by founding CEO Hendrawan, with established connections spanning concession holders, mine operators, and logistics providers across Sulawesi, Kalimantan, Sumatra, and Java.
On the buy-side, Hendstone serves Chinese and wider Asian industrial buyers requiring reliable supply of Indonesian commodities, particularly processed nickel for EV battery and stainless steel production, thermal coal for power generation, and coffee for wholesale distribution. Hendstone provides a single point of access to Indonesian supply, eliminating the complexity of managing multiple producer relationships across a fragmented supply chain. Our buy-side proposition is anchored by confirmed off-take agreements with established Chinese industrial counterparties, providing certainty of demand for producers and certainty of supply for buyers.
Hendstone manages all aspects of contract negotiation and execution: specification definition, volume commitments, pricing mechanisms (fixed, floating, or index-linked), delivery terms (FOB, CIF, CFR), and dispute resolution. Pricing is benchmarked to LME nickel prices, the Indonesian HBA coal reference, and ICO coffee indices, adjusted for grade, logistics, and counterparty terms. Full due diligence is conducted on all counterparties, including concession verification and export licence checks on the producer side, and corporate verification, credit assessment, and sanctions screening on the buyer side.

Indonesia to International Markets
Hendstone manages the complete export logistics chain from Indonesian extraction and processing sites to international buyer delivery points. Indonesia's commodity supply chain is operationally complex, spanning remote mining concessions, multi-modal inland transport, archipelagic port infrastructure, and international shipping corridors, and requires deep local knowledge and hands-on coordination at every stage.
Commodity movements begin at remote mining or production sites across Sulawesi, Kalimantan, and Sumatra. Hendstone coordinates inland transport via established road, barge, and conveyor networks to move commodities to processing facilities and onward to deepwater ports and loading jetties. Our operations team, led by Director of Logistics Idawati, maintains direct relationships with local transport operators, barge companies, port authorities, and stevedoring firms across Indonesia's key commodity-producing regions.
Indonesian commodity exports require extensive regulatory documentation: export licences, mining concession verification, customs declarations, certificates of origin, surveyor reports, bills of lading, and compliance with Indonesia's Domestic Market Obligation (DMO) requirements for coal. For transactions involving letters of credit, documentary collections, and bank guarantees, Hendstone prepares compliant document sets meeting the requirements of issuing and advising banks.
Hendstone coordinates ocean freight from Indonesian loading ports to international destinations, managing vessel chartering (Handymax, Supramax, Panamax), freight rate negotiation, laytime and demurrage, and voyage tracking. For the Indonesia to China nickel corridor, transit times from Sulawesi average 5 to 10 days. Hendstone's logistics coordination extends through to destination port discharge supervision and delivery confirmation.
All shipments are subject to independent third-party inspection: chemical composition analysis for nickel, calorific value and sulphur testing for coal, and grading and cup quality assessment for coffee. Independent reports accompany all documentation and form part of the evidence required for trade finance settlement.
