Sohar Aluminium was formed in September 2004 to undertake a landmark Greenfield aluminium smelter project in the Sultanate of Oman and is jointly owned by OQ SAOC, Abu Dhabi National Energy Company PJSC - TAQA and Rio Tinto.

By implementing decades of industry insight in its design, specification and construction, Sohar Aluminium has been created to ensure efficiency, environment protection, and the utmost safety for its workforce.
