Emirates Aluminium (Emal), a joint venture between Abu Dhabi's Mub-adala Development Company and Dubai Aluminium (Dubal), said it is on course to start production early next year despite the global economic recession driving down demand for the metal.
Emal aims to develop the world's largest aluminium production site in two phases, each with 700,000 tonnes of annual capacity, in Khalifa Port Industrial Zone in Taweelah, half way between Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
"Emal is on target to start production in April 2010 and all aspects of the project are proceeding as per the plan," chief executive officer Duncan Hedditch told Gulf News in response to an e-mail question.
