Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) is acquiring an 80% stake in Minnesota-based Spectro Alloys Corporation, marking a significant move in its global expansion strategy. The deal, which is pending regulatory approval, aims to bolster EGA’s presence in the U.S. and enhance its capabilities in aluminum recycling, aligning with the company’s sustainability goals.
Spectro Alloys, a prominent player in the secondary aluminum market, specializes in producing aluminum ingots with a notably low carbon footprint. This acquisition allows EGA to further penetrate the American market while contributing to its broader environmental initiatives.
The transaction is expected to close by the end of the year, subject to regulatory approvals, with Spectro’s current owners retaining a 20% stake. EGA’s move reflects its commitment to diversifying and expanding its operations beyond the UAE, solidifying its position as a global leader in the aluminum industry.
