The partnership aims to position NIDC as a leading national enabler within the exhibition, amplifying its efforts to localise value chains, foster innovation and connect Saudi industries with international markets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This collaboration reinforces Aluminium Arabia\u2019s role as a bridge between policy, industry and global expertise, aligned with national industrial priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the global ALUMINIUM portfolio of events, including Aluminium Global Exhibition in D\u00fcsseldorf, Aluminium Arabia delivers international credibility while tailoring its content to the Kingdom\u2019s Vision 2030 ambitions. Saudi Arabia\u2019s aluminium market is projected to reach a value of USD 3.53 billion by 2030, driven by a compound annual growth rate of 4.4 percent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This growth is underpinned by more than USD 12 billion invested in aluminium projects, abundant bauxite reserves, competitive energy costs and the presence of one of the world\u2019s largest integrated aluminium production complexes at Ras Al-Khair Industrial City, producing 740,000 tonnes of aluminium per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saudi Arabia has also set a clear ambition to be positioned among the top 10 aluminium producers globally, supported by broader investments across the metals sector and national initiatives that prioritise industrial innovation and localisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The inaugural Riyadh edition will unite the full aluminium value chain, from raw materials and processing technologies to downstream applications across construction, automotive, aerospace and packaging. With more than USD 1.3 trillion worth of infrastructure and megaprojects underway across the Kingdom, demand for aluminium solutions is accelerating, creating significant opportunities for producers, technology providers and end users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aluminium Arabia is structured around five core content pillars: downstream development; end-user applications; investment and localisation; sustainability and circular economy; and innovation, talent and Industry 4.0, including AI, IoT and data analytics. Together, these pillars reflect the exhibition\u2019s comprehensive scope and its role in supporting the future development of Saudi Arabia\u2019s aluminium and manufacturing ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Michael K\u00f6hler, General Manager of RX Germany,added:<br><\/strong>\u201cThis event extends global aluminium market expertise into one of the world\u2019s most dynamic industrial landscapes. The Riyadh edition is designed to connect international solution providers with regional demand across infrastructure, advanced manufacturing and sustainable production, delivering practical business outcomes and strengthening cross-border industry collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eng. Matar Al-Harthi, EVP of Minerals &amp; Metals at the National Industrial Development Center (NIDC), said:<br><\/strong>\u201cAt NIDC, we believe in creating long-lasting bonds between policy and industry. Aluminium Arabia 2026 exemplifies this vision by uniting international leaders and local pioneers to set new benchmarks in industrial development and technological advancement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By aligning global best practices with local implementation, Aluminium Arabia 2026 aims to serve as a long-term platform shaping the future of the Middle East\u2019s aluminium industry and industrial landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Positions Aluminium Arabia as a strategic industry platform aligned with Vision 2030 manufacturing and localisation objectives Hosted in partnership with the National Industrial Development Center (NIDC) as the official Government Partner Connects global aluminium leaders with Saudi Arabia\u2019s expanding metals and advanced manufacturing ecosystem Aluminium Arabia 2026, organised by RX, will take place from 27 &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":85468,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-85467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.1 -
