Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) said it remains committed to achieving its 2020 production targets and ensuring the safety of its employees and contractors despite facing adversities in the form of global headwinds, volatile LME price and weak economic sentiment across the markets.

Alba is set to achieve a production target of more than 1.54 million metric tonnes by 2020 and remain a lean aluminium producer by building on the legacy of its cost-improvement Project Titan Programme.

Commenting, Alba’s Chief Executive Officer Ali Al Baqali emphasised: “Alba can only control what is intrinsic to its operations i.e. Safety, Production and Cost. In light of the current circumstances, we have activated our response strategy to ensure the safety of our people and the continuity of our operations.

He added: “We have been proactive in adopting many Safety initiatives across all departments following the guidelines of the Government of Bahrain and respected health organizations. We also remain focused, through our resilient capabilities, to ensure a continuous and sustainable supply of our raw materials to run our operations smoothly all the while deliver our products to clientele across the globe.”
