Emirates Global Aluminium, EGA, the largest non-oil and gas company in the UAE, has been named "Global Aluminium Supplier of the Year" by Maxion Wheels, the world’s largest manufacturer of wheels for cars, trucks and other vehicles.

EGA has been supplying Maxion Wheels, which are used by almost every major vehicle brand in the world, with aluminium since 1995.

EGA was recognised by Maxion Wheels for its commitment to service and performance, including its reliability in delivering high quality metal to Maxion’s plants around the world.

Giorgio Mariani, Vice President of Global Supply Chain at Maxion Wheels, said, "Maxion Wheels considers its supply partners as an extension of the organisation and a critical element in our formula for success. In 2017, EGA exceeded its commitment to our partnership by providing exceptional levels of support and flexibility, earning the Global Aluminium Supplier of the Year Award."

About a quarter of EGA’s production is dedicated to foundry alloys, which are mainly used in the automotive industry to cast vehicle parts, including wheels. EGA is the market leader, outside China, in foundry alloys, and its annual production of foundry alloys is equivalent to 70 million wheels.

Abdulla Kalban, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of EGA, said, "Through supplying Maxion Wheels, EGA’s metal is used to move people worldwide. The automotive industry is a key market for EGA, and we are honoured to be recognised by one of its global leaders. We look forward to continuing to earn Maxion’s trust as an innovative, high quality and competitive global supplier of aluminium."
