Emirates Global Aluminium PJSC (EGA), the largest premium aluminum producer based in the UAE, reported that its Al Taweelah alumina refinery’s alumina delivery totaled 1.09 million tons in the first half of this year, higher than the refinery’s production capacity in 2019.
During the period, Guinea Alumina Corporation (GAC), a bauxite miner wholly owned by EGA, exported 5.85 million tons of bauxite ore, rising from 5.47 million tons in the second half of 2020.
Abdulnasser Bin Kalban, EGA's Chief Executive Officer, said that the demand for aluminum will increase as the economy recovers from the COVID-19 epidemic. The governments around the world have promised to rebuild better social resilience in the future, which meant positive long-term prospects for the aluminum market.
