Aluminium Bahrain (Alba), the world’s largest aluminium smelter on one site, kicked off its Annual Majlis 2026 sessions yesterday at the Oasis Hall, led by Alba chief executive Ali Al Baqali.
During the opening session, Alba’s CEO unveiled Alba’s Objectives for 2026: Safety 5 Star, Think Global, e-Al Hassalah and Skill Level Up. These priorities aim to drive Alba’s operational excellence, strengthen financial discipline and position Alba for sustained growth.
Mr Al Baqali
Mr Al Baqali said: “As we step into 2026, our focus is clear: driving world class safety excellence and best-in-class behaviours across all our operations; expanding beyond our comfort zone to explore new markets and opportunities; accelerating efficiencies and financial discipline through the last phase of e-Al Hasalah; and investing in our people with Skill Level Up for the future.
“These priorities will guide us as we continue to lead, inspire and transform.”
The inaugural session, attended by Alba’s executives, directors, managers and supervisory staff highlighted key performance milestones from 2025 and outlined the strategic direction for the year ahead.
Two more sessions of Alba’s Annual Majlis – which stands for ‘yearly gathering or forum’ in Arabic – will be held throughout the week in a hybrid format, ensuring accessibility for employees across all sites and shifts. This initiative is designed to foster open dialogue between Alba’s management and employees, promoting transparency, collaboration and alignment on shared goals.
