Message from our President & CEO

Welcome to DUBAL, owner and operator of one of the world's largest modern aluminium smelters. Today Dubai's industrial flagship and one of the largest non-oil contributors to the Emirate's economy, DUBAL was established in 1979 under the leadership of H H Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, the late Ruler of Dubai. Over the ensuing years DUBAL has evolved into a global aluminium producer and presently has a production capacity of almost one million metric tonnes of quality hot metal per year.

As we forge ahead, with the support and encouragement of today's visionary leaders H H Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum (Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai) and H H Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum (Deputy Ruler of Dubai, UAE Minister of Finance, and Chairman of DUBAL), our focus on providing, protecting and advancing continues to gain momentum.

We are determined to further enhance our international reputation through the continued development of advanced in-house technologies and the pursuit of excellence in all that we do. Furthermore, by placing environmental, health and safety issues at the forefront, at all times, DUBAL will play a prominent role in supporting Dubai's quest to achieve sustainable development.

Thank you for your interest. We encourage you to explore our site to discover more about the ways that DUBAL is fulfilling our corporate ambition to develop excellence-based partnerships with all our stakeholders, so that together we will shine.

Abdulla J M Kalban
President & Chief Executive Officer
