Bahrain's Alba achieves record in operational performance

MANAMA: Alba, the world’s largest aluminium smelter ex-China, has achieved record production of 1,548,500 metric tonnes last year, beating its target of 1,540,000 metric tonnes per annum (mtpa).

This is the highest-ever production achieved by the company in 50-years of commercial operations.

Last year’s production is up by 13pc year-on-year (YoY) over the 1,365,005 mtpa in 2019.

Commenting, Alba chief executive Ali Al Baqali said: “2020 was a year like no other with world-shifting challenges. But for Alba and despite all odds, we have raised the bar and finished 2020 strong by achieving the highest-ever record in our operational performance. This achievement was only made possible thanks to our dedicated workforce, employees and contractors’ employees who rose to such challenges while remaining fully committed to our motto of ‘Safety First, Safety Always’.”

A ceremony was held yesterday to mark the achievement while adhering to social distancing norms and was attended by the executive management team along with many employees from across the plant.
