EGA to showcase Aluminium Billets in USA

Emirates Global Aluminium ("EGA"), the Middle East's biggest main aluminium manufacturer as well as amongst the top five worldwide, will certainly participate at the 11th International Aluminum Extrusion Technology Seminar & Exposition ("ET'16"), which occurs from 2 to 6 May in Chicago, USA. As the world's leading manufacturer of key aluminium billet for extrusion and forging, making more than 1.1 million tonnes each year ("Mtpa"), EGA will certainly leverage ET '16 to showcase its products with the perspective to obtaining market share in North America and farther afield.

Held every 4 years, the ET collection of events has a well established credibility for high quality and also commitment to quality; and is highly appreciated by players in the aluminium extrusion sector. The ET '16 event, which notes EGA's third participation, is anticipated to attract more than 1,200 sector experts from more than 50 countries.

"As the premier workshop as well as exposition for the aluminium extrusion market, ET is absolutely global in its range and also allure, making it a strong platform to display EGA's world-leading companies as well as our international grasp, too to advertise our intrinsically exceptional high quality billets for the extrusion sector," claims Walid Al Attar (Chief Marketing Officer: EGA).

Al Attar encourages that DUBAL America Inc. ("DAI")-- an entirely possessed subsidiary of Dubai Aluminium ("DUBAL") and a member of the EGA team of companies-- is the single distributor in North America of the key aluminium items made by EGA's midstream procedures. A solid logistics network, with centers at every major port in the USA, has actually assisted DAI develop a strong existence in the marketplace. Around 0.5 Mtpa of EGA products are marketed direct to clients in the transportation, structure as well as building markets. The bulk of this quantity (regarding 60 per-cent) is billets, making DAI one of the biggest single foreign buyers of main billet in The United States and Canada.

"EGA billets currently account for a 20 per cent share of the 1.43 Mtpa primary aluminium billet market in the USA, says Al Attar. Declining local supply together with DAIs ability to build excellent customer relationships and deliver our high quality, made-to-specification products on time, means that the scope for growth in our North American market share is enormous.huge.".
