only event of its kind in the region to unite all the leading primary aluminium<br />

manufacturers in the GCC, enabling industry leaders to network, conduct<br />

business, discuss global challenges and identify suitable solutions.<br />

The exhibition held alongside the conference will showcase 65 of the biggest<br />

widely recognised as one of the leading global gatherings for the aluminium<br />

industry. The Middle East region offers immense growth opportunities<br />

for the global aluminium industry, especially as the sector already holds<br />

the proud position as one of the region’s key non-oil industries. ARABAL<br />

is the perfect platform to showcase the Middle East’s position as a regional<br />

industry powerhouse.”<br />
