Iranian missile and drone attacks caused significant damage to Emirates Global Aluminium’s (EGA) Al Taweelah site on 28 March, the company said. The facility is located at Khalifa Economic Zone Abu Dhabi.

The firm said that assessments are ongoing but confirmed in a statement on its media cetnre that a number of employees were injured as a result of the attack but confirmed that none of the injuries were life-threatening.

“The safety and security of our people is our top priority at EGA at all times. We are deeply saddened and are assessing the damage to our facilities,” said Chief Executive Officer Abdulnasser Bin Kalban.

EGA noted that its Al Taweelah smelter produced 1.6m tonnes of cast metal in 2025. It added that it had “substantial metal stock on the water when the conflict began, and stock on the ground in some overseas locations.”
