Thiess re-entered the Indonesian market when Thiess Contractors Indonesia was established in 1988 and, working in a joint venture with PT Mintekindo Utama Into, started undertaking mining activities.[4] Its first major mining contract was awarded in March 1989 by BHP at Senakin Mine in East Kalimantan.[5]
Ownership
As at June 2025, Thiess held a 95% shareholding in Thiess Contractors Indonesia.[6]
