Mahan is focused not only on production, but on the overall development of people and society. One of the biggest rehabilitation projects at Mahan gave an opportunity to more than 1600 affected people and their families to change their life by joining this world-class production facility to make aluminium. By identifying their potential, and providing proper education and training, these people known as ‘associates’ are able to run the state-of-the-art technological equipment at Mahan. Today, along with other well-trained staff, these people are energised, motivated and committed to deliver the world’s best quality aluminium on a sustainable basis.
