Aluminium Bahrain (Alba), one of the largest aluminium smelters in the world, has opened its new regional sales office in Atlanta (US) as part of its global expansion strategy.

Zac Jungers, recently appointed as the new sales manager for Alba Americas, will oversee the growth and development of the key market from the Alba’s office in Georgia, and along with his team, will support initiatives that help in expanding the footprint of Alba’s product portfolio within US, said a statement from Alba.

Jungers, an American citizen originally from Baltimore County, Maryland, will be reporting directly to the acting chief marketing officer Khalid Latif. Prior to relocating to Atlanta, he had been with Alba (in Bahrain) since 2013 as manager of Strategy & Business Development.

Zac holds a BA from Princeton University and a JD/MBA from the College of William & Mary.

On the new office launch, CEO Tim Murray said: "Alba remains committed to expand its presence around the globe with the opening of a new sales office in US. The new office represents our commitment to grow our footprint and is a major step towards consolidating our presence in this market."-TradeArabia News Service
