The UAE’s two aluminium smelters are set to merge to
create the world’s fifth-largest producer with an enterprise value of
US$15 billion. Mubadala and Investment Corporation of Dubai (ICD) are
merging their aluminium assets.
The joint venture expects to add 2,000 new jobs by 2020 and estimates that a further 6,000 indirect jobs will be created by a growing aluminium sector in the country. The new company, Emirates Global Aluminium, will be headed by Abdulla Kalban, the current chief executive at Dubal.
The new joint venture is intent on growing its operations. Although it is not clear whether this will be at Dubai’s Jebel Ali facility or in Abu Dhabi.
