Saudi Arabia: Southern Province Cement has reported steady progress on its new cement plant in Jazan, with most phases of the clinker production line already completed and trial operations under way. In a filing to the Saudi stock exchange Tadawul, the company confirmed that the first trial batch of clinker was produced on 29 December 2025. The project was awarded to Sinoma International Engineering in 2023, and includes a new 5000t/day clinker line and 10,000t/day cement grinding capacity, which will replace the existing production lines at the site. The company said it expects all construction phases to be completed soon, with commercial operations scheduled to begin later in 2026.
