Aluminium Bahrain (Alba), the Bahrain-based aluminium smelter, yesterday (Feb 4) took part in a high-level Bahraini delegation to Italy, to explore further expansion and partnership opportunities with Italian companies through high-level meetings between senior business executives and government representatives.
The Bahrain delegation was led by HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Prime Minister of Bahrain, said a Bahrain News Agency report.
Organised by the Bahrain Economic Development Board (EDB), the delegation visited Italy to explore further expansion and partnership opportunities with Italian-based companies through high-level meetings between senior business executives and government representatives.
As part of the delegation, Alba’s chairman of the board of directors Shaikh Daij bin Salman Al Khalifa met with key Italian companies, including Fluorsid, FATA and Techmo Car, where important agreements were signed to advance commercial opportunities for both parties.
Shaikh Daij said that Alba is pleased to be part of the Bahraini delegation to Italy led by HRH the Crown Prince, Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa.
“As one of the key contributors to Bahrain’s economy, Alba is deeply committed to realising the Kingdom’s Economic Vision 2030. Through these signed agreements, Alba aims to further strengthen its relationship with Fluorsid, FATA and Techmo Car as well as explore more avenues for future collaboration,” he added.
Alba has an existing contract with Fluorsid for the supply of 15,000 to 20,000 tonnes of smelter grade aluminium fluoride, around 70 per cent of Alba’s yearly requirements.
FATA is the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor for Alba’s Port Capacity Upgrade Project, part of Alba Line 6 Expansion Project, while Techmo is a producer of high-end mobile and stationary equipment for the aluminium and metal production sector and enjoys a long-standing commercial relationship with Alba, added the report.
