Sohar Aluminum starts supplies to downstream customers

Khaleej Times reported that Sohar Aluminum achieved another milestone in delivering the first crucible of hot metal to SAG, a local downstream manufacture of aluminum products.

One of the key strategies for the state of the arts Sohar Aluminum smelter facility located at Sohal Industries Estate is to promote the development of the aluminum industries in Oman.

Mr Tony Kinsman CEO of Sohar said that ¡°The most effective means to achieve this was the creation of downstream industries next to the smelter to encourage the development of enterprise specifically involved in the aluminum industry which would add value to the aluminum produced by the smelter for the local use or export.¡±

He added that ¡°Sohar Aluminum will export approximately 140,000 tonne from Sohar Industrial Port. The remaining 210,000 tonnes will be sold to local companies that have been formed to create a new downstream aluminum industry.¡±
