Yamama Cement to upgrade production line being moved to new plant site

19/01/2024 06:27 AST

Yamama Cement has hired China National Building Material subsidiary Sinoma Overseas Development to upgrade a production line it is moving from its old plant site south of Riyadh to its new site at Northern Halal in Al-Kharj governorate. The 10,000t/day line will be enhanced to a 12,500t/day line as part of the project. Sinoma Overseas Development general manager Yang Lei re-emphasised the company's commitment to leveraging its technical strengths in both of its on-going projects with Yamama Cement.

The cement company commissioned two production lines supplied by Germany-based ThyssenKrupp with a total production capacity of 20,000t/day in late 2022 at its new plant location to the east of Riyadh. Once the production line from the older Riyadh plant has been moved and upgraded, the Northern Halal plant is expected to have a production capacity of 32,500t/day. Yamama Cement previously shut down five of its older production lines at the Riyadh site in 2017 before saying it was going to sell them in 2019.
