“Alba’s success depends on the strength of its people and our business is as good as our human capital,” said Ali Al Baqali, CEO of Alba.
We believe that by investing in our citizens, we will prepare them to shape our culture and keep us on track as the premier aluminum supplier for generations to come.
I truly believe that our culture has everything to do with the bottom line – today and in the future.
