EGA ’ s development since the seventies has taken the UAE from no aluminium production to the fifth-largest aluminium-producing country in the world – and the world ’ s largest ‘ premium aluminium ’ producer .

EGA produces 4 % of the world ’ s aluminium production and almost half of the GCC and is the biggest industrial company in the UAE outside oil and gas – operating aluminium smelters and a refinery in the UAE and a mine in the Republic of Guinea .

The company ’ s homegrown technology enables it to be cost-competitive and environmentally responsible , as it looks to reach net-zero GhG from its operations and supply chain by 2050 . EGA is owned equally by Mubadala and Investment Corporation of Dubai .
