Commenting on Alba's participation as a strategic partner of the Gulf Industry Fair 2011, Alba's Chief Executive, Laurent Schmitt said:
"Alba's position as the leading aluminium smelter in the Gulf region makes it the ideal strategic partner to represent the aluminium sector in the Gulf Industry Fair. In the forty-years since the company's inception, the company has grown substantially and today ranks amongst the top-ten global aluminium producers and is the fourth largest single-site smelter in the world. Nearly 70 per cent of our products are sold in the Gulf, and Bahrain's downstream industries alone represent 50 per cent of products sold. As a result, the company has played a key role in the growth and success of the aluminium industry both locally and regionally. It is a privilege to support the Gulf Industry Fair once again, and we look forward to opportunities to meet with peers in the industry, network with associates, pursue business leads and learn of new technologies and innovations."
Gulf Industry Fair covers the key industrial segments including aluminium, machine tools, industrial equipment, automation, steel, energy, logistics and manufacturing. The Fair also provides a unique opportunity for the operators of industrial areas, ports and free zones to meet an interested market of decision makers in the manufacturing and distribution sectors.
