The Arab International Aluminium Conference and Exhibition returns to Egypt in 2022. The leading aluminium event in the MENA region is back.
CRU is pleased to announce its support to ARABAL 2022. After a couple of years without any face-to-face events, ARABAL (the Arab International Aluminium Conference and Exhibition) will take place once again in 2022. The 24th edition will be hosted by Egyptalum (Egypt Aluminium Company) from 29 November to 1 December 2022 at the Nile Ritz-Carlton, Cairo, Egypt.
Combining a strategic conference with an international exhibition, ARABAL is the premium trade event for the Middle East’s aluminium industry. It is the only conference attended by every primary smelter in the region and it is hosted on a rotation basis between them.
This year’s hosts, Egyptalum, is the largest aluminium producer in Egypt and one of the largest in Africa having a total annual production of around 320,000 tonnes. CEO of Egyptalum, Mahmoud Aly Salem said “We’re more than delighted to be hosting the 24th edition of The Arab International Aluminium Conference and Exhibition (ARABAL), the premium platform for the aluminium industry in the Arab world. As the demand for aluminium production continues to rise, it’s pivotal to set the pace moving forward.”

The conference will bring together hundreds of professionals from the entire aluminium supply chain (smelters, producers, technology providers, financing and end users) to discuss the most topical issues facing the industry today under the theme of “Enabling a more sustainable future”.
