bahrain - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Bahrain is one of the most diversified economies in the Persian Gulf. Highly developed communication and transport facilities make Bahrain home to numerous multinational firms with business in the Gulf. As part of its diversification plans, Bahrain implemented a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the US in August 2006, the first FTA between the US and a Gulf state. Bahrain's economy, however, continues to depend heavily on oil. Petroleum production and refining account for more than 60% of Bahrain's export receipts, 70% of government revenues, and 11% of GDP (exclusive of allied industries). Other major economic activities are production of aluminum - Bahrain's second biggest export after oil - finance, and construction. Bahrain competes with Malaysia as a worldwide center for Islamic banking and continues to seek new natural gas supplies as feedstock to support its expanding petrochemical and aluminum industries. In 2011, Bahrain experienced economic setbacks as a result of domestic unrest. Bahrain's reputation as a financial hub of the Gulf has been damaged, and the country now risks losing financial institutions to other regional centers such as Dubai or Doha. Economic policies aimed at restoring confidence in Bahrain's economy, such as the suspension of an expatriate labor tax, will make Bahrain's foremost long-term economic challenges - youth unemployment and the growth of government debt - more difficult to address.

Activities: Engaged in the production of aluminium flat
products, sheets, coils, roll formed sheets and circles.
Subject was
originally established in 1981, however production did not commence until
November 1985. The mill was officially inaugurated by HH Sheikh Issa Bin
Suliman Al Khalifa, the Amir of Bahrain on 19th January 1986.
The plant was
constructed by Kaiser Engineering, USA and the machinery was installed by Kobe
Steel of Japan who also undertook the start-up operation and the training of
local staff.
Garmco's
two main products are feedstock for foil manufacturers and feedstock for
automated paint lines, each accounting for 30 per cent of the total turnover.
All of the primary aluminium it uses is sourced from Aluminium Bahrain (Alba).
The original GARMCO
facility had an annual capacity of 40,000 tonnes. Through equipment
enhancement, this increased to 70,000 tonnes by 1990. GARMCO then invested in a
second cold-rolling mill and related facilities, resulting in the current
annual capacity of 125,000 tonnes. A further update of the facilities was done
in 2004 to raise the capacity to 145,000 tonnes. In 2005 another fine tuning on
the existing equipment was carried out to reach a capacity of 165,000 tonnes.
