Kings Aluminium commences construction of AED750mn facility in KEZAD

Abu Dhabi, Dec. 18 (BNA): Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi (KEZAD Group), the largest operator of integrated and purpose-built economic zones, and Kings Aluminium Industries today announced the commencement of construction for a state-of-the-art aluminium manufacturing and recycling facility in KEZAD.

 

With a total investment of AED 750 million by Kings Aluminium Industries, the facility in KEZAD will be spread across 100,000 square metres of land leased from KEZAD Group for a 50-year tenure and will source its raw material from Emirates Global Aluminium, one of KEZAD Group’s anchor tenants in the Metals sector. EGA operates the region’s largest Aluminium smelter in KEZAD, Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported.

 

The Kings Aluminium facility marks a significant step in the UAE’s efforts to localise the manufacturing of various supply chains, utilise local raw materials, enhance environmental as well as sustainability aspects in the production process, and promote the circular economy.

 

The facility will transform virgin aluminium and aluminium waste into high-quality reusable materials, reducing the carbon footprint associated with aluminium production. Located on the strategic hot metal road in KEZAD near Emirates Global Aluminium’s plant, Kings Aluminium will employ cutting-edge manufacturing and recycling technology, efficiently processing molten aluminium metal, and billets, and repurposing various aluminium waste products.

 

This project sets a new benchmark for sustainable industrial practices in the UAE and serves as a model for other companies in the sector.
