Emal delivers its first cast metal to clients

Emal celebrated the delivery of the first cast metal to clients across the world yesterday.

Khaldoun Al Mubarak and Abdulla Kalban, Chairman and Vice-Chairman of Emal Board of Directors, joined nearly 2,000 Emal employees and contractors on the Emal site to celebrate the delivery.

Ramp up to full production at Emal began in December with the delivery of the first crucibles of molten metal from the aluminium smelter to the plant casthouse. The first metal was cast into 650kg sow ingot. The casting of the first metal means that Emal has begun to deliver its value added products to customers in the first quarter of 2010, well ahead of previously scheduled dates.
