Al Arabia Company for Manufacturing and Painting Aluminum has announced a new strategy aimed at increasing its annual exports to more than 10,000 tonnes. The move follows the company's successful restructuring and transformation into an integrated industrial complex, equipped with advanced production lines and a series of expansion projects that have strengthened its position in both local and international markets. Chairperson and Managing Director Ibrahim Al-Batran said the company's development journey began in 2020, when he decided to shift a significant portion of his investments from Morocco to Egypt through the acquisition of Al Arabia Company for Manufacturing and Painting Aluminum. The goal, he explained, was to establish a leading industrial entity that would contribute to building investor confidence in the Egyptian market. Al-Batran noted that the company has since introduced two new aluminum extrusion and production lines, achieving full integration across all stages of manufacturing. Exports, he added, remain a central pillar of the company's growth strategy, with 70–75% of total production currently exported to regional and international markets — a reflection of the company's successful global expansion and product competitiveness. At the beginning of 2024, the company launched a comprehensive expansion plan that included the installation of the latest aluminum painting line, with a production capacity of up to 1,200 tonnes per month, alongside the addition of a third extrusion line to boost overall production capacity. As part of its sustainability and efficiency efforts, Al Arabia also contracted to build a state-of-the-art aluminum recycling plant and relocated its administrative offices to the CPC Industrial Complex, adjacent to the new coating and packaging facilities. This move, Al-Batran said, has enhanced operational efficiency and improved coordination between departments. He further revealed that in the last quarter alone, the company exported 1,500 tonnes of aluminum products — marking a 75% increase compared to previous periods — to key markets including Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, Lebanon, and Canada. The milestone, he said, reflects growing global confidence in the company's product quality and its ability to meet international standards. Al-Batran affirmed that the company will continue to pursue expansion and innovation in its operations to support Egypt's industrial and export development goals, positioning Al Arabia as a key player in the regional aluminum manufacturing sector.
