HRH Crown Prince to be official patron of international aluminium trade event

Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) is the lead sponsor of this prestigious event that is organised by Metal Bulletin, and is set to attract more than 600 delegates from across the globe. It is expected that the entire segment of the aluminium industry will be represented at the event - from bauxite miners and alumina refiners, to smelters, recyclers, fabricators, end-users, traders, bankers and service companies.

Commenting on Alba's sponsorship support for this key event, the Chairman of Alba's Board of Directors, Mahmood Hashim Al Kooheji said:

"It is a matter of pride and honour for everyone at Alba that the 25th International Aluminium Conference will be held under the patronage of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Bahrain Defence Force, Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa. We are encouraged by such support since it clearly underlines the vision and determination shown by the political leadership in enhancing Bahrain's industrial profile worldwide, and in promoting Bahrain as a business-friendly destination for potential investors.

"The 25th International Aluminium Conference is one of the most important trade events in the aluminium industry that business leaders from across the world look forward to each year. It is a great privilege for Bahrain to be selected as the venue for this year's event, and Alba is proud to be its lead sponsor. As a pioneer in aluminium production in the region, we are keen supporters of any initiative that will increase a wider understanding of the current and potential trends as well as the various dynamics impacting the industry."

The three-day event is expected to provide networking opportunities with industry leaders from across various segments in the aluminium industry. It is expected to offer an insight on new developments, investment possibilities, innovative technologies, and to know what is influencing the market and shaping its prices.
