Emirates Global Aluminium Expands Solar Aluminium Supply to Hyundai Mobis
Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) has signed a new agreement to significantly increase its supply of CelestiAL solar aluminium to Hyundai Mobis, strengthening a long-standing partnership with the global automotive parts manufacturer.
Under the expanded deal, EGA will boost its annual supply of CelestiAL from 8,000 tonnes in 2024 to as much as 15,000 tonnes by 2026. The companies also plan to explore a long-term supply agreement beyond 2026, with a focus on value-added products such as billets, primary foundry alloys, and recycled aluminium.
EGA and Hyundai Mobis will collaborate on developing advanced alloys tailored for automotive use, aligning with the industry's shift toward lightweight, low-emission vehicles. Aluminium is widely used in vehicle manufacturing for its strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. 'This agreement deepens our relationship with Hyundai Mobis and highlights the increasing demand for sustainably produced aluminium,'
said Abdulnasser Bin Kalban, CEO of EGA. 'We remain committed to innovation and sustainability in our operations.'
Hyundai Mobis expressed confidence in the partnership's potential to support its green supply chain goals. 'We will proactively respond to global environmental regulations through low-carbon aluminium sourcing,'
said Sun Woo Lee, Senior Vice President and Head of Procurement at Hyundai Mobis.
CelestiAL, produced using solar power, reflects EGA's commitment to decarbonising the aluminium industry. The company reported a 27% year-on-year increase in CelestiAL output in 2024, reaching 80,000 tonnes—including 8,000 tonnes of CelestiAL-R, which incorporates recycled content.
EGA is among the world's largest suppliers of automotive foundry alloys and is certified to the global quality standard used across the automotive sector.

EGA to explore opportunities to develop bauxite-related projects in Ghana
ABU DHABI - Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) today announced the signing of an agreement with Ghana Integrated Aluminium Development Corporation (GIADEC) to explore opportunities to develop bauxite-related projects in the Republic of Ghana. Ghana has more than 900 million tonnes of bauxite resources, in one large and two smaller known deposits. Ghana currently produces around 1.5 million tonnes of bauxite per year. Under the agreement, EGA and GIADEC will explore the potential for long-term bauxite off-take arrangements and collaboration on rail and port infrastructure to expand production. Abdulnasser bin Kalban, Chief Executive Officer of EGA, said, 'This aligns well with EGA's goal of diversifying our sources of upstream supply as we grow our metal production, including in the US as we progress our plans to develop a greenfield primary aluminium production plant as announced during the recent state visit to the UAE of President Trump. EGA is looking to double its bauxite production in the next few years and exploring multiple opportunities worldwide, and Ghana is amongst them.'
