Host Sponsor
Alba is the world’s largest aluminium smelter outside China with a production of more than 1.5 million tonnes per year (1.548 Mt in 2020). Around 79 % of our products - from customised alloys to a variety of surface finishes -- are exported to more than 150 global customers through our sales offices in Europe, Asia, Singapore, and a subsidiary office in the U.S.
Alba Campus comprises six Reduction Lines, three Power Stations, four Casthouses and four Carbon Plants, along with other ancillary facilities. In addition to primary aluminium production, we also produce 530 000 tonnes per year of high-quality calcined petroleum coke at our own dedicated Coke Calcining Plant. Alba also yields 9.5 million cubic metres of potable water per year from its dedicated seawater desalination plant.
Alba has carved an enviable reputation in Safety, Environment and Health, Sustainability and Quality Management. It is one of the few smelters in the world to have achieved Zero Lost Time Injuries (LTI) in 2019. Alba was recognized during 2020 with five categories of National Safety Council (NSC) awards - USA, International Safety.
Award with Merit from British Safety Council (BSC) – UK, and Gold Medal Health and Safety Award from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) – UK. In addition, Alba closed 2020 with achieving 6 million safe-working hours without LTI.
Alba is committed to fostering greater sustainability across all our operations. In line with its CSR initiatives, Alba set-up the Region’s first-of-its-kind Spent Pot Lining (SPL) Treatment Plant in cooperation with Bahrain’s Supreme Council for Environment in 2019 to create a sustainable solution for the treatment of SPL with zero-waste. In 2020, Alba inaugurated its Fish Farm Project in collaboration with the Bahrain National Guard Consumer Association, thus boosting the Kingdom’s aquaculture and enriching the biodiversity around Alba’s operations.
Starting out in 1971 as a 120 000 tonnes per year smelter, Alba has continually delivered value to its customers, shareholders and stakeholders. As we mark the Golden Jubilee of operations in 2021, we aspire to be more productive, innovative and sustainable.
