Read our Social Media Usage Guidelines on our Website: www.sohar-aluminium.com Sohar Aluminium was formed in September 2004 to undertake a landmark Greenfield aluminium smelter project in the Sultanate of Oman. Jointly owned by OQ SAOC, Abu Dhabi National Energy Company PJSC - TAQA and Rio Tinto, Sohar Aluminium has won global acclaim for its superior, environmentally friendly and energy-efficient technology. By implementing decades of industry insight in its design, specification and construction Sohar Aluminium has been created to ensure efficiency, environmental protection and the utmost safety of its workforce. The smelter has an annual production capacity of more than 390,000 tonnes of high-quality Aluminium. Omanisation, which currently stands at 79% of its workforce, is a driving force within the organisation. The development of its young employees is paramount and with that in mind, Sohar Aluminium has its own internationally recognised training centre which gives each and every employee the opportunity for further learning. SA is a strong believer in supporting Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and has executed a number of projects to establish and sustain SMEs. 60% of its production is earmarked for consumption by local downstream industries while the rest is exported. Sohar Aluminium firmly believes in supporting and giving back to the local communities it operates in. Our well-established CSR framework ensures we execute a number of projects that impact various sections of society in a positive manner. In many ways, Sohar Aluminium’s development mirrors the Sultanate of Oman’s own emergence onto the world stage - driving forward at a formidable pace, while being mindful and respectful of its cultural heritage and values. Sohar Aluminium intends to become a benchmark smelter while contributing to the sustainable development of Oman.
