EGA extends aluminium supply agreement with BMW

Emirates Global Aluminium announced that it has extended its UAE-made aluminium supply agreement with BMW. The new deal will see EGA’s aluminium supplies to BMW continue until 2022.

A BMW representative visited EGA’s Jebel Ali site in Dubai to mark the start of the new agreement.

EGA, one of the largest suppliers of foundry alloys to the automotive industry worldwide, announced that it is to significantly increase its supply of aluminium to BMW. EGA has been supplying BMW with aluminium since 2013.

Abdulla Kalban said: “The BMW Group has high standards for the quality of metal as well as for sustainability and social responsibility. We are proud that we have maintained BMW Group’s trust over the past six years and that our relationship will continue into the next decade.”

The company supplies aluminium directly and indirectly to many world-renowned European carmakers as well as to more than 15 of the most important parts makers in the European automotive industry’s supply chain.

EGA is the world’s largest ‘premium aluminium’ producer and was the first Middle East headquartered company to join the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative, a global, non-profit standards setting and certification organisation, according to the company.
