Capral Aluminium completes trials and becomes Alba’s first customer for EternAlTM low-carbon aluminium

Aluminium Bahrain B.S.C.’s (Alba) new range of low-carbon aluminium EternAl^TM has reportedly gained access to the Australian manufacturing sector through its first customer Capral Aluminium. The latter has completed its trials of both EternAl-15 and EternAl-30 for using it in producing extruded aluminium products destined for the marine, defence, transport, construction, signage, and general fabrication industries.

Securing Capral Aluminium as the first customer for EternAl^TM low-carbon aluminium range, Alba has stepped up towards its goals to reach out to worldwide customers with its brand new line of sustainable aluminium.

The amalgamation of Alba’s EternAl^TM low-carbon aluminium into Capral’s extruded aluminium products will introduce a new range of sustainable raw materials for manufacturing sectors in Australia. This collaboration will also represent Capral’s unwavering commitment to sustainability and innovation.

Alba launched its EternAlTM low-carbon aluminium in May 2024. The product features two variants EternAl-30 and EternAl-15 based on 30 and 15 per cent of recycled aluminium content.

Ali Al Baqali, Alba's Chief Executive Officer, said: “At Alba, driving sustainable aluminium production is not just a goal, it's our mission.

This is just the beginning, and I'm excited about the possibilities EternAlTM unlocks for sustainable construction, a cleaner marine industry, and a more responsible transportation sector in Australia.”
