Aluminum Bahrain BSC's position as a regional pioneer in aluminum production and keen supporter of the region's plans to emerge as a major hub for the aluminum industry provided a key incentive for Alba's participation in Aluminum Dubai 2011, a leading 3 day exhibition for aluminum products, technologies and investments in the Middle East.

Aluminum Dubai 2011 will be held from May 9th to 11th 2011 at the Shaikh Saeed Halls 2 & 3, Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Held every 2 years, Aluminum Dubai 2011 is the second edition of this prestigious event that was launched with great success in 2009. It brought together key regional and global players in the aluminum industry on a single platform and is expected to emerge as one of the most eagerly awaited industry events.

Mr Laurent Schmitt CEO of Alba said that "For the past forty years, Alba has maintained its position as one of the world's leading aluminum smelters and is recognized worldwide for the quality of its products and services. We are proud to be in a region that is estimated to supply 14% of the global demand for aluminum by 2020. It is our confidence that Aluminum Dubai 2011 will offer the ideal platform for producers, customers, suppliers and investors to find a common ground for achieving success."
