(MENAFN) Aluminium Bahrain (Alba), stated that it has inked USD169 million bank loan agreements with several banks to refinance a bond maturing in March, reported Arabian Business.
Alba said that it inked a USD85 million 5-year loan deal with a local commercial bank in the Gulf, in addition to a syndicated 3-year loan of USD84 million that was inked with 4 regional commercial banks and a Japanese bank.
At the start of the month, the company said that it has assigned Bechtel Canada to carry out a feasibility study for Alba’s USD2.5 billion expansion plan.

It added that the establishment of the new line could be finished by early 2015.
It is worth noting that at the current time, Alba’s annual production stands at 881,000 tons.
