Alba will again be a Strategic Aluminium Partner at the fourth Gulf Industry Fair (GIF) in Bahrain next year following the renewal of a sponsorship agreement with show organisers Hilal Conferences & Exhibitions (HCE).
The agreement with HCE, a subsidiary of Bahrain-based Al Hilal Group, is the second successive year that Alba will provide top-level support for the aluminium segment of the show. It is also the first company to commit to a Strategic Sponsorship role for 2011.
GIF, to be held at the Bahrain International Convention & Exhibition Centre (BIEC) from January 18-20, 2011, is the fourth edition of the most important and comprehensive industry-related exhibition in the Middle East. It provides a highly-targeted opportunity for any company or organisation marketing products or services aimed at the growing industrial sector of the region.
Alba CEO Laurent Schmitt said: "One of Alba's remits is to stimulate the growth of the downstream aluminium sector in Bahrain and further integrate the aluminium value chain in the kingdom, in line with government objectives."
Ronnie Middleton, managing director, Al Hilal Group, said: "We are delighted that Alba is the first Strategic Sponsor to renew its support for Gulf Industry Fair in 2011. This is a clear endorsement of the show's growing status in the region."
Jubran Abdulrahman, managing director, HCE said: "HCE is excited by Alba's vision of encouraging an 'Aluminium Village' community concept at GIF 2011, which reflects the company's leading status in the global aluminium industry."
GIF 2011 will be complemented by the first Middle East Clean Environment Forum, to be held at the Conference Suite, BIEC, on January 19, 2011.
