JEDDAH - Yanbu Cement Company (YCC), one of the largest manufacturers of cement in Saudi Arabia, and Sinoma International Engineering Co. Ltd. of China plan to set up a new cement three million-tonne annual capacity clinker plant.
Sinoma International is a reputable Chinese engineering company that has built several larger capacity cement plants in various parts of the world including the Middle East, a few of them in the Kingdom. The contract is on a turnkey basis and the new plant is expected to be commissioned in 30 months time. Austroplan Austrian Engineering GmbH of Austria is the consultant for the new project.
Once commissioned, the total production capacity of YCC will exceed seven million tonne clinker per annum.
