MEED’s Middle East Aluminium conference focuses on building a sustainable downstream sector for the region’s industry. The price of aluminium has recovered quickly from the impact of the global crisis – currently to USD 2100 p/t. The worst of the price slumps are agreed as being over, and producers are beginning to dust off expansion plans, especially for downstream value-adding developments.
There are huge opportunities for investments in the region to capitalise on the production of primary metal by the region’s major smelters. By attending, you’ll network with the senior decision makers driving the sector’s growth and capitalising on the demand for aluminium across the Gulf, and exploring how to seize global opportunites.
In 2010 the event is growing, with dedicated streams for the upstream production and smelter side of the industry, and for the downstream processing and fabrication sector. The event matches this technical focus on the local challenges with international plenary session focusing on the macro issues and the place of the Middle East in the global aluminium sector.
