EGA ready to service growing European demand for aluminium

Emirates Global Aluminium PJSC (EGA) presence at the 10th Metef International Aluminium Exhibition (Metef 2014), which was held in recently Verona, Italy, for the first time as a single entity drew interest from a range of industry stakeholders looking for insight into the new business entity.

Walid Al Attar, Chief Marketing Officer at EGA has said that building brand awareness in the European market is a vital part of EGA’s growth strategy, as the European Union needs to import approximately 60 per cent of its primary aluminium requirements. In 2013, EGA shipped nearly a quarter of its production to the region, and this is set to grow in the coming years.

“Our products are used extensively by the EU’s automotive and aerospace industries, and demand is on the rise. With EMAL Phase II having been fully commissioned since mid-June this year, our total production capacity has increased to 2.4 million tonnes per year, which not only puts us among the top five aluminium producers in the world outside China, but gives us the ability to service this growing market,” said Al Attar.

A jointly-owned aluminium conglomerate formed by Mubadala Development Corporation of Abu Dhabi and Investment Corporation of Dubai through combining their aluminium industry assets, EGA’s core operating subsidiaries are Dubai Aluminium PJSC (DUBAL) and Emirates Aluminium PJSC (Emal).
