Muscat: Sohar Aluminium will hold an aluminium industry gathering at the Al Bustan Palace Hotel between February 5 and 6.
The event, which will be held under the patronage of Gulf Aluminium Council, will have Garry Jones, the chief executive officer of London Metal Exchange (LME), as the key speaker. His Highness Sayyid Taimur bin Asad bin Tariq Al Said will be the chief guest.
The event is an excellent opportunity to showcase Oman's prowess, not only in the aluminium producing sector but also will offer the platform to promote the country, its businesses, its industries and future development prospects.
The key decision makers from around the globe will be in attendance at this dinner event and will have a chance to explore future businesses and investment opportunities in Oman.
Business infrastructure
On the sidelines of the event, the board of directors of the Gulf Aluminium Council (GAC) comprising all the chief executive officers of aluminium smelters in the Gulf will meet in Muscat to discuss issues of common interest and ways of strengthening the cooperation between aluminium industries in the Gulf.
"We are extremely honoured that His Highness Sayyid Taimur bin Asad bin Tariq Al Said has graciously accepted our invitation to be the chief guest at this prestigious event," said Mulham Al Jarf, chairman of Sohar Aluminium.
"Sohar Aluminium involvement in the event reflects the company's active support for the broader goals of the Oman Government by engaging in corporate sponsorship of world-class industry events that showcase Oman's tourism and business infrastructure to international audiences. Through this business dinner, and subsequent events of its kind, Sohar Aluminium will certainly elevate and entrench
Sultanate's status as a rapidly growing centre for business and leisure, with immense spin-off benefits for the economy, while simultaneously promoting our country Oman," he added.
The exclusivity of the function and the high-level guests invited to the GAC dinner have certainly set the GAD today as the sought-after event in the aluminium industry where top ranking executives from aluminium producing companies, technology providers, power generation manufacturers, traders and aluminium users, come face-to-face on a common platform once a year.
Global delegates
The delegates and participants come from the Gulf and Mena region and all across the world to include Australia, the US, Canada, Russia, Europe and Africa.
The Gulf Aluminium Council is a coordinating body that represents, promotes and protects the interests of the aluminium industry within the Gulf.
The council's main objectives are to provide a forum to develop strategies for common issues and concerns facing the aluminium industry in the region, and to share best practices so as to improve the efficiency of the industry.
Sohar Aluminium which is a part of the Gulf Aluminium Council, and the lead sponsor for the GAD, was formed in September 2004 to undertake a landmark freenfield aluminium smelter.
