Senior industry representatives gathered in New York, USA from June 11th to 13th 2012 for the 2nd Annual Aluminium Summit hosted by leading metals publication, American Metal Market. Dubai Aluminium and Emirates Aluminium leveraged the opportunity to reach this prestigious audience by participating jointly in the exhibition component held alongside the summit.

The combined DUBAL and EMAL exhibition stand showcased the two companies and their product portfolios. DUBAL’s Marketing and Sales team is responsible for marketing the metal produced by EMAL. This amounted to 288,568 tonnes of cast aluminium in 2010 and 749,000 tonnes in 2011 in addition to DUBAL’s own sales which exceeded one million tonnes in both years. The American market is particularly important to the UAE smelters approximately 123,900 tonnes of DUBAL’s 2011 production was shipped to North America, as was some 119,160 tonnes of that produced by EMAL ie 243,060 tonnes in total, representing 13.6% of the two companies’ combined production.

Mr Walid Al Attar executive VP Marketing & Sales at DUBAL and VP Marketing & Sale at EMAL said that “We participated in the inaugural Annual Aluminium Summit in 2011. The participation of DUBAL and EMAL at the 2nd Annual Aluminium Summit reflects our continued confidence in the potential growth within this market going forward a sentiment that is echoed in efforts already invested to strengthen our existing marketing and sales offices in the USA.”
