EGA announces plan to expand the supply of CelestiAL solar aluminium to Hyundai Mobis

Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) has announced an expansion of its partnership with Hyundai Mobis, the global automotive parts manufacturer, to increase the supply of CelestiAL solar aluminium. This enhanced agreement builds on their existing relationship, which began in 2015.

Under the updated terms, the annual supply of CelestiAL to Hyundai Mobis will grow from 8,000 tonnes this year to as much as 15,000 tonnes by 2026. Looking ahead, EGA and Hyundai Mobis plan to explore a long-term supply arrangement beyond 2026, focusing on value-added products such as billets, primary foundry alloys, and recycled aluminium. The two companies will also collaborate on developing innovative, exclusive alloys tailored for advanced automotive applications.

Abdulnasser Bin Kalban, Chief Executive Officer of Emirates Global Aluminium, said, "At EGA, we remain committed to innovation in delivering the highest quality, low-carbon aluminium to our customers. We value our successful partnership with Hyundai Mobis and look forward to building on this collaboration in the years ahead. We appreciate their continued trust in EGA and our world-first CelestiAL solar aluminium."

Aluminium is vital in the automotive industry thanks to its lightweight, high strength, and corrosion-resistant properties. Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) is among the world's leading suppliers of foundry alloys to the automotive sector.

In 2024, production of CelestiAL solar aluminium increased by 27 percent, reaching 80,000 tonnes. This total includes 8,000 tonnes of CelestiAL-R, which features enhanced recycled content. EGA is certified to the global automotive industry standard that promotes stringent quality management across the international automotive supply chain.

Sun Woo Lee, Senior Vice President, Head of Procurement of Hyundai Mobis, said, "With a partnership with EGA, we will proactively respond to global environmental regulations by establishing a green supply chain using low carbon aluminium."
