Aluminium Bahrain (Alba), the world’s largest smelter ex-China, has set an all-time record-breaking production of 1,561,222 metric tonnes in 2021 a fitting tribute on its golden jubilee of operations.
 
In addition, Alba achieved an outstanding safety milestone by closing 2021 with more than 20 million safe-working hours without LTI – a first in the company’s 50 years of commercial operations.
 
Commenting on these achievements, CEO Ali Al Baqali said: "Despite all odds, we closed 2021 with an exceptional performance by hitting new highs in our production - 1,561,222 metric tonnes and besting 2020 production record of 1,548, 500 metric tonnes."
 
"What makes this milestone even more important for us is that we have nailed it without any single Lost Time Injury (LTI)," he stated.
 
Safety of its employees and contractors’ workforce remains Alba’s top priority. Over the years, the company has maintained an excellent track record in Safety and Health for which it has won prestigious international awards such as the RoSPA Award 2021 (8 years in a row) and International Safety Award with Merit from British Safety Council in 2020.
 
Alba stayed strong on its journey of Safety Excellence by topping more 20 million safe working-hours without Lost Time Injury (LTI) with zero LTIs by end of 2021.
 
He was speaking at a brief ceremony held today (January 5) to commemorate the milestone which was attended by Alba’s Executive Management and employees.

raising the bar and taking Alba to new heights.
