Sohar

Sohar Aluminium, which began operating in 2008, is the Sultanate of Oman’s first greenfield aluminium smelter.

Approximately 60% of the production is earmarked for sale as liquid metal to local downstream industries, while the rest is exported as solid aluminium.

The company also operates a dedicated port facility at the Port of Sohar, which can handle vessels up to 75,000 tonnes.

Sohar Aluminium is jointly owned by Rio Tinto (20%), Oman Oil Company (OQ) (40%), and Abu Dhabi National Energy Company PJSC (TAQA) (40%).
