Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) has strengthened its profile within both the investment and metals communities, securing investor relations awards while engaging with global industry stakeholders at major international events.

At the 19th Middle East Investor Relations Association (MEIRA) Annual Conference and Awards 2026 in Dubai, Alba was named Leading Corporate for Investor Relations – Bahrain, while Eline Hilal, Director of Investor Relations and Insurance, received the Best Investor Relations Professional – Bahrain award. The recognitions highlight the company’s approach to investor engagement, disclosure and communication with the investment community.

Commenting on the achievement, Ali Al Baqali, Chief Executive Officer of Alba, said the awards reflected the company’s commitment to transparency, accountability and consistent engagement with investors. He added that the recognition acknowledged the efforts of teams across the organisation in communicating Alba’s performance, strategic priorities and long-term direction.

Alba strengthens engagement at LME Week 2026

Earlier in the month, Alba participated in LME Week 2026 in London, where Al Baqali led the company’s delegation. The event brought together senior executives, producers, traders and customers from across the global metals and mining industry to discuss market developments, sustainability trends and the outlook for commodity markets.

As part of the programme, Alba attended the LME Metals Seminar, which attracted more than 800 delegates, and participated in the annual LME Dinner, a key networking event for the global metals sector.

The twin developments underscore Alba’s focus on maintaining engagement with both the investment community and the wider aluminium industry as it pursues its long-term growth strategy.
