Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) is marking its 50th anniversary and a decade since the merger of Emirates Aluminium and Dubai Aluminium that created the company.
His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai's Crown Prince and the UAE's Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister, and His Highness Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Chairman of the Presidential Court for Development and Martyrs’ Affairs, attended a celebration hosted by EGA to mark the milestones.
Sheikh Hamdan highlighted how the launch of Dubai Aluminium 50 years ago helped drive the UAE’s industrial transformation, noting that EGA now produces more than two million tonnes of aluminium a year and contributes around AED 23 billion to the national economy.
He also praised EGA’s sustainability leadership, including producing the world’s first solar aluminium.
Sheikh Theyab said the UAE’s industrial sector remains a cornerstone of national development, with EGA standing among the country’s most significant industrial successes.
EGA is the world’s largest producer of premium aluminium and the UAE’s biggest export after oil and gas, serving customers in more than 50 countries.
The company is currently advancing plans to develop the first new primary aluminium plant in the United States since 1980, which will almost double American primary aluminium production.
EGA is also building a global platform through the acquisition and expansion of plants in Germany and the United States, and the construction of the UAE’s largest aluminium recycling plant at Al Taweelah.
