(MENAFN) Aluminum Bahrain (Alba) plans to invest USD2.5 billion on boosting output between now and 2015, Bloomberg reported.
CEO Laurent Schmitt said that the cash will be utilized in adding a new production line to boost output capacity by 30 percent to 400,000 tonnes of aluminum per year, totaling 1.3 million tonnes.
The investment will also involve a power generation necessary for producing aluminum, which is generally a very energy-intensive process.
Schmitt expected the price of aluminum to recover from last year’s 30 percent decline, which led rival producers in the US and Europe to close plants.
