Company Overview

Aluminium Wire Rod

Trans Gulf Aluminium Industries Co. L.L.C was formed in 1998 for the manufacture of EC Grade Aluminium Wire Rods & Aluminium Alloy Ingots & other allied products.

Situated in Jebel Ali Industrial Area, next to one of the largest ports in world, it has a strategic advantage of proximity to major port and also to major Aluminium Smelters like Emirates Global Aluminium PJSC (Dubai Aluminium and Emirates Aluminium) and Sohar Aluminium LLC.

We produce continuous cast Aluminium wire rods used for Electrical purposes conforming to ASTM B 233-97. The wire rod is the base material for drawn wire products used mainly in the electrical Industry. Our Aluminium wire rods in various tempers (H11, H12, H13, H14, H16, etc.) to meet the growing demand for electrical power transmission and industrial wiring.

Trans Gulf has a CCR line that adopts a Properzi-continuous casting machine and the technology of continuous casting and rolling, to produce an Aluminium rod with a diameter of 9.5 & 12 mm, the alloy grade includes the 1000 series of the conductive round Aluminium rod (1080,1350,1370, etc.). The technology of the line can meet the standard of European (BS EN) and American (ASTM).

The Declared Unit (DU) of this LCA is 1 metric ton and the findings below are expressed as kgCO₂e/DU.

Impact Category Unit A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 B1-B7 C1 C2 C3 C4 D
GWP-GHG kgCO₂e 1.16E+04 3.15E+00 1.91E+02 6.04E+01 ND ND 0.00E+00 8.30E+00 2.56E-03 1.44E-02 -1.03E+04

This indicator includes all greenhouse gases, excluding biogenic carbon dioxide uptake and emissions, as well as biogenic carbon stored in the product, as defined by IPCC AR6 (2021). The indicator aligns closely with the Global Warming Potential (GWP) outlined in EN 15804:2012+A2:2019, incorporating updated characterization factors and environmental impact indicators. Reading example: 1.57E-03 = 1.57*10⁻³ = 0.00157.
