Sohar Aluminium was formed in September 2004 to undertake a landmark Greenfield aluminium smelter project in the Sultanate of Oman and is jointly owned by OQ SAOC, Abu Dhabi National Energy Company PJSC – TAQA and Rio Tinto.

By implementing decades of industry insight in its design, specification and construction, Sohar Aluminium has been created to ensure efficiency, environment protection, and the utmost safety for its workforce. The smelter has an annual production capacity of 395,000 tonnes of high-quality Aluminium.

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, but all the while 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.
