Sohar Aluminium¡¯s output at 377,186 tonnes in 2015

The collective output of primary aluminium by the five GCC producers - Emirates Global Aluminium in UAE, Alba in Bahrain, Ma’aden Aluminium in Saudi Arabia, Qatalum in Qatar and Sohar Aluminium in Oman - stood at 5.27mn tonnes in 2015. This was seven per cent higher than in 2014.

Sohar Aluminium’s total production in 2015 stood at 377,186 tonnes.

“Record GCC output reflects the continuous improvements in efficiency and optimisation of resources,” said Mahmood AlDaylami, secretary general of the Gulf Aluminium Council.

GCC aluminium production constitutes ten per cent of total global output and is considered one of the key economic drivers for the Gulf region, a press release said on Sunday. Nearly 40 per cent of the total production is utilised by the downstream aluminium industries in the Gulf, while the remaining 60 per cent is exported to different parts of the world.

GCC remains one of the leading regions for aluminium production with higher environmental standards compared to the rest of the world.

Sohar Aluminium is jointly owned by Oman Oil Co, Abu Dhabi National Energy Co and Rio Tinto.
