Alba celebrates a new high of aluminium production – 2024

Aluminium Bahrain B.S.C. (Alba) yet again outperformed and achieved a new high of aluminium production in 2024. On Thursday, January 9, the company announced it attained 1,622,261 tonnes of net finished production in 2024.

Output over the years:

From 2021 to 2023, Alba produced 1,561,222 tonnes, 1,596,000 tonnes, and 1,620,665 tonnes yearly, clearly reflecting a consistent annual rise. However, when each year is compared, we see a diminishing growth rate. For instance, in 2022, Alba's aluminium production increased by 2.23 per cent Y-o-Y, which in 2023 rose 1.5 per cent, and in 2024 grew by 1 per cent.

Nonetheless, the consistent advancement in Alba's production each year sets a significant benchmark before the primary aluminium producers worldwide.

Commenting on this remarkable production record, Alba's Chief Executive Officer, Ali Al Baqali stated: "Today, we celebrate not just numbers but the dedicated teams behind this achievement. The fact that we have exceeded 2023's production record, even after facing the adversity of the industrial fire at power rectiformer supplying Line 1, speaks volumes about the resilience and loyalty of Alba team. This success is a testament to our ability to overcome adversity while setting new records. We look forward to building on this momentum and reaching new milestones through our in-house production creep initiatives."

Alongside all other accomplishments of the last year, Alba celebrated this achievement with a ceremony held at its Oasis, attended by the Company's Executive Management, Directors, Managers, and employees from various departments.
