Egyptalum Golden Jubilee | 50 Years of Leadership and Achievement
Egyptalum proudly celebrates its Golden Jubilee, marking 50 years of excellence, dedication, and leadership since the establishment of this landmark industrial complex in Nag Hammadi, Qena, in 1975/1976.
For five decades, Egyptalum has stood as a true pillar of Egypt’s national industry and one of the Arab world’s leading aluminium producers, with an annual production capacity exceeding 320,000 tonnes, contributing to the Egyptian economy and serving customers across global markets.
Five Decades of National Industry and Achievement
The journey began in 1969, driven by the vision of harnessing the energy generated by the High Dam to establish a strategic aluminium industry in Egypt. By the mid-1970s, production had come to life, transforming the desert of Nag Hammadi into a thriving industrial and residential community.
Strategically located close to major electricity networks, the Nile River, and the port of Safaga, the complex was developed as an integrated industrial and service community, built around its people and their contribution to Egypt’s industrial development.
Over the years, Egyptalum has undergone major modernization and technological transformation, including the transition to prebake technology, while continuously pursuing new opportunities in renewable and solar energy.
Today, Egyptalum continues to strengthen its leading role in the mining and metals industries, focusing on maximizing the added value of its products, embracing innovation, and moving toward a more sustainable and environmentally responsible future.
The People Behind the Success
Behind every milestone and every achievement stand generations of dedicated employees, skilled workers, engineers, and leaders whose commitment, expertise, and determination have been the foundation of Egyptalum’s success.
Their efforts have transformed five decades of challenges into a remarkable story of resilience, innovation, growth, and national pride.
As we celebrate 50 years of achievement, we look ahead with confidence and ambition—committed to continuous development, adopting advanced technologies, strengthening our relationship with customers and partners, and enhancing our economic and social contribution.
Fifty years have passed. The journey continues.
From a visionary industrial project to a globally recognized Egyptian aluminium powerhouse, Egyptalum remains a symbol of national industry, driven by its people and inspired by the future.
Celebrating 50 years of excellence.

Long live Egyptalum—a proud pillar of Egyptian industry.
