Alba Bahrain boosts aluminum output to 1.3M tons
Aluminum Bahrain "ALBA" has announced that its annual aluminum production has reached approximately 1.3 million tons, following the restart of its main production lines at its plant in Bahrain. The CEO confirmed that the company completed repairs for damages caused by an Iranian attack targeted at the facility in late March, which resulted in injuries to two employees and the suspension of the first three production lines—representing about 19% of its total capacity of 1.623 million tons per year. During the first half of 2026, ALBA faced disruptions in raw material supplies and logistics, leading to a 61% decrease in production during the second quarter compared to the same period last year, and a drop in aluminum sales to 280,800 tons. The company continues with its expansion plans, including acquiring the Dunkirk aluminum smelter in France with an annual capacity of 300,000 tons, and enhancing its recycling and sustainability projects, all amid a volatile global market influenced by supply chain and transportation disruptions in the region.
