Aluminium Bahrain B.S.C. (Alba) announced the release of its second quarter and first half of 2015 results on Wednesday, July 29, 2015.
Commenting on Q2 & H1 2015 Results, the Chairman of Alba's Board of Directors, Daij bin Salman bin Daij Al Khalifa: "Alba was able to outperform the industry and continue to deliver on Safety. We plan to use this positive momentum as we gear-up for Line 6 Expansion Project which will make Alba the largest single-site aluminium smelter in the world."
Alba's Chief Executive Officer, Tim Murray added:
"Alba continues to excel in what we control -- which is Safety, Production and Cost. As we look ahead for the remainder of 2015, we see a large drop in the all-in-aluminium prices; however, we expect to deliver solid results despite these challenges."
