For over 40 years, EGA has played a major role in the industrialisation and economic diversification of the UAE. Our product is the second largest made-in-the UAE export and we are the heart and foundation of the broader UAE aluminium sector.
Aluminium’s use plays an essential role in improving transport efficiencies, reducing energy consumption and global greenhouse gas emissions, improving product longevity and reducing demand on natural resources.
EGA has focused on innovation for over 25 years. We have used our own technology in every smelter expansion since the 1990s and retrofitted our older production lines. In 2016 we became the first UAE industrial company to licence our process internationally.
In his role as Project Director for the construction of a new highly-efficient power block at EGA - Mohammad Albastaki has chalked up a number of firsts.
Our lives would be very different without aluminium. It is thanks to the metal of the future that we live in great cities, can make instant connections and more. At Emirates Global Aluminium, we produce one in every 25 tonnes of aluminium made worldwide.
