Aluminium Bahrain B.S.C. (Alba), the world’s largest aluminium smelter on a single site, achieved a record production of 1,623,139 metric tonnes in 2025, up from 1,622,261 metric tonnes in 2024, surpassing its annual target despite disruption caused by an industrial fire late in the year.
The milestone highlights the company’s operational resilience, disciplined execution and focus on sustainable growth.
Alba also closed 2025 with more than 42 million work hours without a Lost Time Injury (LTI), marking two consecutive years of LTI-free operations for the first time in its five-decade history.
Chief executive officer Ali Al Baqali praised employees and contractors for their commitment and performance. He added that Alba will continue to strengthen its operations through in-house initiatives aimed at delivering sustained improvements in production efficiency and throughput.
“This record is more than a production figure; it reflects our ability to overcome adversity and set new benchmarks in both operational performance and safety. We’ll build on this success, push our performance further, and continue to unlock the full potential of our people and operations.
I’m also proud and grateful to everyone who contributed to making 2025 a truly historic year for Alba.”
