Overview of the Orbit Aluminum plant in Aqaba

An integrated aluminum producer operating since 1976 — over 50 years of integrated production

Family-owned, integrated aluminum producer in Aqaba, Jordan, supplying coil to manufacturers in Europe and North America.

Integrated production

Most coil suppliers do one step. Orbit controls the chain: recycling, casting, rolling, coil coating, and finishing on one site, under a single point of accountability.

Recycled-content coil. Recycling and casting are in-house, so coil is available with recycled-content aluminum on select alloys, traceable to the cast batch and confirmed per order. Sustainability

The integrated advantage

Most coil suppliers perform a single step and buy in the rest, which means quality and consistency depend on a chain of separate parties. Orbit controls the full chain on one site: recycling and casting, rolling, coil coating, and finishing, under one ISO 14001 environmental system and one point of contact. For a buyer this means three concrete things:

  • Tighter control of metallurgy and color from the cast house to the finished coil.
  • A single accountable partner rather than a subcontractor chain.
  • Recycled-content coil is possible because the recycling and casting happen in-house.

The confirmed example is 3105 alloy with PUPA coating at approximately 75% recycled content, see recycled content.

Export logistics

Orbit's location in Aqaba gives direct access to a major shipping port, which shapes its logistics for European and North American buyers.
