Saudi Arabia: Southern Province Cement announced that it has ‘partially accepted and handed over’ a new production line at its Jazan cement plant, thereby marking another step toward completion of its project to replace the plant’s existing production lines. This follows the completion of most construction phases and the start of trial operations for certain production stages, according to the company in its filing to the Saudi bourse Tadawul. The new line is expected to be completed and enter production by the end of 2026.
The company had previously announced the latest developments on the project in December 2025, including the completion of most construction phases and the start of trial operations for certain production stages. Sinoma International Engineering was awarded the contract for the project in 2023.
