The UAE’s industrial flagship, Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA), will participate at this year’s Hannover Messe expo to be held in Germany from April 7 to 11.

EGA is a joint venture between Abu Dhabi's Mubadala Development Corporation and Investment Corporation of Dubai.

This is the first time that EGA is taking part in Hannover Messe, the world’s leading industrial and technological trade fair that attracts over 200,000 visitors from 71 countries.

Saeed Fadhel Al Mazrooei (designate CEO: UAE Operations at EGA) said: "Hannover Messe offers a perfect forum to promote the excellence-based partnerships that the UAE has developed with the business community around the world. It is also the ideal platform to demonstrate the industrial investment opportunities that the UAE has to offer."

"As one of the world’s leading producers of primary aluminium, EGA is proud to be part of the drive to showcase the nation’s ‘open for business’ approach, which helps build our global reputation and will continue to bring many benefits to the country in the future," he stated.

In addition to a large EGA stand in the UAE Pavilion at the fair, the company will promote the country during the 3rd UAE Investment and Business Forum held alongside the trade fair.

Al Mazrooei will be a speaker on a panel discussing the growth of the UAE as a regional industrial hub. As well as promoting the country’s products, the forum also allows national exporters to keep abreast with global developments in the field of exports.

Al Mazrooei said: “With over 80 per cent of our production exported around the world, EGA is well-placed to inform this important debate.”

EGA’s participation at Hannover Messe 2014 is part of the largest-ever UAE delegation at the event. Led by the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (Added), more than 30 companies and government entities will be represented.-TradeArabia News Service
