Oman Strengthens Aluminium Industry with Strategic Supply Agreement
In a significant move to bolster the Sultanate of Oman’s industrial sector, National Aluminium Products Company (NAPCO) and Oman Aluminium Cast Company have signed a pivotal supply agreement. The signing ceremony took place at the Knowledge Oasis Muscat, witnessed by Eng. Dawood bin Salim Al Hadabi, CEO of Madayn.
Under the agreement, Oman Aluminium Cast will supply NAPCO with newly developed raw material billets that have successfully passed rigorous qualification tests. Oman Aluminium Cast sources raw metal from Sohar Aluminium and manufactures billets, which NAPCO uses to produce aluminium profiles for local and international markets.
This partnership highlights the strategic collaboration between Omani companies to drive economic growth, advance local industries, and elevate the quality of Omani products to global standards. Additionally, the agreement is poised to create employment opportunities and reinforces Oman’s standing as a regional leader in the aluminium sector.
Eng. Abdullah Al Mayasi, Director General of Suhar Industrial City, emphasized that this agreement aligns with Oman Vision 2040 by supporting local products and contributing to national economic growth through industrial integration.
The collaboration is part of a broader initiative led by the integrated Aluminium Economic Cluster team in Suhar Industrial City. This team operates under the guidance of the Public Authority for Special Economic Zones and Free Zones (OPAZ), the Public Establishment for Industrial Estates “Madayn,” the National Programme for Economic Diversification “Tanwee,” the National Programme for Private Sector and Foreign Trade Development “Nazdaher,” and the Industrial Innovation Academy. The cluster aims to position Oman as a global hub for aluminium production by attracting investments and advancing manufacturing industries.
