Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) welcomed two distinguished visitors from RBS Sempra Commodities who visited the smelter along with a group of customers from the downstream sector in Bahrain, the GCC and the Middle East.

Brian Woodbridge, Account Executive, and Richard Holler, Hedging Strategist, were in Bahrain for conducting the Bahrain Aluminium LME Educational Seminar that Alba had organised for its employees and customers.

Alba Chief Executive, Laurent Schmitt met the visitors and thanked them for sharing their expertise with Alba's employees and customers on LME's operations, activities, pricing, policies and procedures.

"We truly appreciate their invaluable contribution towards the seminar's success. We also thank them for enabling our employees and customers to be enriched with a better understanding of LME's operations. At Alba, we place great priority on training because we believe it is a key factor in developing result oriented employees."

It has consistently maintained a high track record for safety and continues to enforce strict environmental guidelines and has surpassed production targets set for the year. It supports numerous community oriented programmes and social activities that have underlined its status as one of Bahrain's leading industrial organisations that remains fully committed to its corporate social responsibility.
