Saudi-based Eastern Province Cement Company has invited bids from specialist companies for the establishment of a new clinker production line in Najibiyah area of the kingdom that will have a total capacity of 10,000 tonnes per day. 

 

There are also plans to replace some of its obsolete production lines in its current plant at Khursaniyah in order to maximize the benefit from the infrastructure of the current plant, stated the Eastern Province Cement Company in its filing to the Saudi bourse Tadawul.

 

The move to set up the new plant comes at a time when the Saudi company has licences to extract limestone from Khursaniyah and Najibiyah regions, it added.-TradeArabia News Service
