Development and transfer of technology

From our company's inception in 1979, DUBAL has been committed to continuous innovation in the aluminium smelting process so as to produce the world's best quality aluminium products, made-to-order and delivered direct to customers, while achieving maximum operating efficiencies.

This is reflected in our quest to use in-house technology to advance and perfect our processes with a view to achieving higher production volumes, improved current efficiencies and environmental benefits. The results constitute a long history of successful technology development and industrial implementation: the first five test cells were commissioned just eleven years after DUBAL's inception.

Ongoing investments in extensive laboratory research and experimentation are directed by a dedicated Technology Development and Transfer Department, which has been mandated to innovate continuously, resulting in improved technology and client service. Efforts are focused on improving the operating performance of DUBAL's reduction cell technology to ensure ever more efficient, cost-effective operations.
