The bulletin will be sent daily and freely via email to all participants in the Conference, professionals, and those who are interested in the aluminium industry.
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide the recipients with the most important news and developments in the aluminium sector, within the various fields of technological, environmental, marketing and other topics related to the global aluminium industry sector.
Tom Peter Johansson, Qatalum’s CEO, said: "This participation is a continuation of our regular participation in the ARABAL Conference since the founding of the company, believing in the need for the effective presence in such international forums which are important and influential in the manufacturing of aluminium.
“These participations also open many doors for us to exchange views, information and experiences with leaders of the industry from around the world, and promote the mechanisms of communication with all the parties involved and interested in the aluminium industry".
"We are proud today to launch the specialized Aluminium Review Bulletin, which emphasizes our great support for the sector and our contribution to promoting the reporting of information, ideas and experiences, and we stress that data and information are the real force behind any successful business", continued Mr. Johansen.
Said Khalid Laram, the Vice Executive Officer: "Our participation in the ARABAL 2013 stems from being one of the major aluminium smelters in the Gulf region and the Middle East, and we seek to strengthen this presence constantly with constructive communication with our partners and friends in this growing sector. Qatalum, one of the poles of the Gulf aluminium industry, has been able to produce 14% of the gross aluminium production of the GCC States, which amounts to more than 4.4 million tons per year, and of course we seek to strengthen this ratio in the near future “
