Interlink Metals and Chemicals AG (Interlink), one of the largest traders and suppliers of titanium in the world, recently announced its intentions to establish titanium production facilities in Bahrain. Beyond strengthening Interlink’s global presence, the prospective factory is designed to enhance production capacity and meet the growing global demand for titanium products.
Interlink, through its subsidiary, Bahrain Titanium (BTI), plans to build a fully integrated titanium production facility that will be the preeminent producer of titanium products for the Middle Eastern and Western markets. Interlink’s expansion will take place in 3 stages: (1) Electron-Beam (“EB”) and Vacuum-Arc (“VAR”) furnace, for the production of Commercially Pure (“CP”) titanium and titanium alloys, respectively, as well as a ferrotitanium (“FeTi”) facility, (2) downstream expansion into different tubed, forged and rolled products, and (3) developing a comprehensive product portfolio of specialized titanium products for critical applications. Interlink’s EB, VAR and FeTi facility will be operational by mid-2025.
As part of Interlink’s commitment to continual improvement, sustainability, and operational excellence, the Bahrain-based factory will use state-of-the-art technology and advanced manufacturing processes, to meet the highest industry standards in quality, energy efficiency and waste management.
Interlink has selected Bahrain as a potential destination for its investment owing to the Kingdom’s conducive business environment.
