History[]

In 1975, Dubai Aluminum (DUBAL) was founded as the UAE's first aluminium production company. The company's first working site was at Jebel Ali, it took four years for the production to start. In 2007, Emirates Aluminium (EMAL) was founded. In 2013, DUBAL and EMAL were merged to form Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA).[1] They use the waste heat of gas and oil fired electricity production for the desalination of sea water.
