Make it in the Emirates
A pioneer of the UAE’s industrial development and economic diversification since 1979
Emirates Global Aluminium is the biggest industrial company in the UAE outside oil and gas, and a champion of Make it in the Emirates.
For almost 50 years, EGA has been at the forefront of national industrial development and economic diversification.
Today, our aluminium is the biggest made-in-the UAE export after oil and gas. We also supply metal to customers here at home – companies that make everything from window frames to car parts for local use and global export.
Our metal is just one part of making it in the Emirates for EGA.
Each year, we spend more than AED 8 billion on goods and services from UAE suppliers, more than 40 per cent of our total global procurement spend. We also have one of the highest in-focus Emiratisation rates of any major company.
