Alba one of the world’s largest aluminium smelters, has received two investor relations honours at the 19th Middle East Investor Relations Association (MEIRA) Annual Conference and Awards, held on 1 and 2 October 2026 in Dubai, UAE. Alba was recognised as Leading Corporate for Investor Relations – Bahrain, while Eline Hilal, Director Investor Relations and Insurance, received the Best Investor Relations Professional - Bahrain award.
