Aluminium Bahrain (Alba), one of the world’s leading aluminium smelters, is participating at the ongoing Commodity Research Unit’s (CRU) 21st World Aluminium Conference, as its key sponsor.

The event which kicked off yesterday (May 9), will conclude tomorrow (May 11), at the Westin Bund Hotel, Shanghai, China.

The conference is widely recognised as one of the top industry events, which attracts influential delegates and key decision makers from the global aluminium industry, said a statement from Alba.

Alba’s chief executive officer Tim Murray; chief marketing officer Khalid Abdul Latif; and other key members of the company are participating the event.

Murray said: “As the aluminium market stands at a crossroad, we believe that there is an ample growth opportunity for aluminium as a metal in the future on the back of strong market fundamentals. “

“With that in mind, we are much excited to embark on Line 6, Alba’s latest brownfield expansion project, which will make us the world’s largest single-site smelter with a total production of 1.5 million metric tonne by early 2019,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
