Vale established its Middle East office in Oman in December 2007 with an aim to expand its presence in key regional markets. Always seeking new opportunities and pioneering solutions, we constructed a Pelletizing Plant and Distribution Center in Sohar. This resulted in new employment opportunities, training of local talent, advancement of the local supply chain and diversification of the country’s economy.
With an investment of US$ 2 billion, Vale employs advanced technologies including an innovative environmental management system which involves control and monitoring actions, all in compliance with local laws and regulations. The project significantly contributes to the socio-economic development of the community.
