Driving sustainable economic growth is one way we make modern life possible for the societies in which we operate. EGA has played a major role in the industrialisation and economic diversification of the UAE for decades, and is making a substantial economic contribution in Guinea.
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.
For decades, Emirates Global Aluminium has maintained and developed global competitiveness by focusing on innovation and continuous improvement. We have developed our own aluminium smelting technology in the United Arab Emirates for more than 25 years.
EGA directly and indirectly creates tens of thousands of jobs in the UAE and internationally. We aim to be the industrial employer of choice in the countries where we operate.
Emirates Global Aluminium is an integrated aluminium producer, with operations from bauxite mining to the production of cast primary aluminium.
Our heritage is in aluminium smelting, the midstream of the aluminium value chain. In 2019, we began production at our Guinea Alumina Corporation bauxite mining project in the Republic of Guinea and Al Taweelah alumina refinery in Abu Dhabi. These projects transform us into an integrated global aluminium producer creating value from mine to metal.
Bauxite is the ore from which aluminium is derived. Bauxite ore is refined into alumina, a white powder which is the feedstock for aluminium smelters. Smelting produces liquid aluminium, which is cast into the wide range of primary aluminium products which we supply. Our customers are mostly semi-fabricators that are part of the supply chains of end user industries from aerospace to construction.
