Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) has signed a new agreement to significantly increase its supply of CelestiAL solar aluminium to Hyundai Mobis, strengthening a long-standing partnership with the global automotive parts manufacturer.
Under the expanded deal, EGA will boost its annual supply of CelestiAL from 8,000 tonnes in 2024 to as much as 15,000 tonnes by 2026. The companies also plan to explore a long-term supply agreement beyond 2026, with a focus on value-added products such as billets, primary foundry alloys, and recycled aluminium.
EGA and Hyundai Mobis will collaborate on developing advanced alloys tailored for automotive use, aligning with the industry’s shift toward lightweight, low-emission vehicles. Aluminium is widely used in vehicle manufacturing for its strength, durability, and corrosion resistance.
“This agreement deepens our relationship with Hyundai Mobis and highlights the increasing demand for sustainably produced aluminium,”
said Abdulnasser Bin Kalban, CEO of EGA.
“We remain committed to innovation and sustainability in our operations.”
Hyundai Mobis expressed confidence in the partnership’s potential to support its green supply chain goals.
“We will proactively respond to global environmental regulations through low-carbon aluminium sourcing,”
said Sun Woo Lee, Senior Vice President and Head of Procurement at Hyundai Mobis.
CelestiAL, produced using solar power, reflects EGA’s commitment to decarbonising the aluminium industry. The company reported a 27% year-on-year increase in CelestiAL output in 2024, reaching 80,000 tonnes—including 8,000 tonnes of CelestiAL-R, which incorporates recycled content.
EGA is among the world’s largest suppliers of automotive foundry alloys and is certified to the global quality standard used across the automotive sector.
