Taha forms strategic alliance with Korean Hwarim Tech to increase secondary aluminium yield

Taha International Company for Industrial Services and Hwarim Tech, a South Korean company, have recently entered into a partnership to advance their cooperation in aluminium processing.

Taha, a Netherlands-based multi-departmental solutions provider, specializes in innovative and affordable products and services for the global aluminium and steel industries. Since 2014, Taha has been providing metal recovery services to Aluminium Bahrain (Alba), the world's largest unified aluminium smelter excluding China.

The partnership between Taha and Hwarim Tech will encompass various areas such as boosting technology trade, Industry Dust & Gas Extractor systems, aluminium dross treatment systems, and knowledge sharing. Taha will provide secondary aluminium materials to Hwarim Tech to promote sustainability and carbon neutrality through the extraction of this infinitely recyclable non-ferrous metal.

This strategic alliance focuses on the propagation and exchange of knowledge and experience. Also, it would be vital for generating investment opportunities, enhancing manufacturing processes, and discovering essential technologies within the aluminium industry.

The partnership was signed during a visit of a Bahraini trade delegation to South Korea in the presence of Minister of Industry and Trade Abdullah bin Adel Fakhro. The partnership aims to garner a more affluent trade and monetary exchange between the two nations.

The CEO of Taha's operations in Bahrain, Ammar Awachi, motioned: “This collaboration signifies our commitment to bolster trade cooperation between the Kingdom of Bahrain and South Korea in the aluminium sector, with a particular focus on advancing sustainable aluminium processing technologies. Leveraging our existing economic and trade relations, we intend to establish enduring partnerships and initiatives that facilitate fruitful collaboration and pave the way for future sustainable growth plans. We take great pride in this collaboration and eagerly anticipate mutual benefits. We commend Export Bahrain for their active role in creating a conducive environment for private sector institutions, enabling them to thrive, prosper, and expand their operations.”

The strategic collaboration aligns with Taha's objectives of promoting sustainable development within the aluminium industry and transitioning towards a greener economy.

The General Manager of Hwarim Tech, Mr. Andrew Jwa, exclaimed: “We are proud to sign this MOU with TAHA. We are confident that this collaboration will facilitate the exchange of expertise in this critical industry, leading to the development of innovative solutions for secondary aluminum processing. This agreement will strengthen international cooperation between our company and the Kingdom of Bahrain, enabling us to collectively address the diverse challenges and opportunities within the aluminum sector. We are enthusiastic about working closely with our partners in Bahrain to achieve our shared objectives, and we eagerly anticipate the positive outcomes that this agreement will yield in the future.”

The two companies will work together to offer comprehensive solutions to enterprises operating within the aluminium sector by employing cutting-edge technologies to effectively treat aluminium dross and extract the aluminium metal in an environmentally friendly and energy-efficient manner.

The Group CEO of TAHA, Mr. Patrick Pollmann, notified: “I congratulate our colleagues in Bahrain on this milestone achievement. It is a testament to their dedication to excellence in the field of sustainable aluminium dross processing. I would also like to recognize the Government of Bahrain and in particular the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and Export Bahrain for their valuable leadership and support.”
