Alba’s Chairman of the Board of Directors, Shaikh Daij bin Salman bin Daij Al Khalifa said: “It is our honour to have HRH Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Bahrain, as the Patron of this much-awaited event especially as it coincides with Alba’s evolution to become the largest smelter in the world upon the full ramp-up of its Line 6 Expansion Project by 31 July 2019.”
