Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) has agreed to be the strategic Aluminium Partner for the third Gulf Industry Fair (GIF), to be held at the Bahrain International Exhibition Centre (BIEC) from January 12 to 14, next year.
The sponsorship agreement with event organisers Hilal Conferences & Exhibitions (HCE), a subsidiary of Bahrain-based Al Hilal Group, is the first time that Alba will support the aluminium segment of the show as a strategic partner.
Alba is consistently ranked as one of the world's largest aluminium smelters and is a key industrial driver in Bahrain, supporting a range of downstream industries and making a major contribution to the national economy.
Ronnie Middleton, Al Hilal Group managing director, said: "The agreement is a clear acknowledgement from Alba of the growing importance of the Gulf Industry Fair to the kingdom's development. Having a company of Alba's global stature adds enormous prestige to the event.
"This year, the event will be enhanced by the Gulf Industry Forum, the theme of which is 'The Future is Industry', at which a number of regional and international business leaders will present a series of industry-related papers."
Jubran Abdulrahman, managing director, HCE, said: "GIF will showcase a dynamic and exciting mix of international, regional and local industries. Alba's strategic Aluminium Partner status reflects its continued support for the downstream aluminium industry."
GIF has quickly established itself as the most important and comprehensive industry-related exhibition in the Northern Gulf.
In addition to aluminium, GIF covers the key industrial segments of machine tools, industrial equipment and manufacturing, automation, metal, energy, logistics and metrology.
