Southern Province Cement

What Southern Province Cement does

Southern Province Cement Company (أسمنت المنطقة الجنوبية) is a Saudi joint-stock cement manufacturer founded in 1978 and headquartered in Abha, Asir Region. The company operates three integrated production plants located in Jazan (established 1982), Bisha (commenced 1997), and Tihama in Makkah Region (commenced 2007), with combined design capacity of approximately 26,000 tons of clinker per day and 40,600 tons of cement grinding per day. Its product portfolio comprises four cement types — Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC Type 1), Sulfate-Resistant Cement (SRC), Finishing Cement (GU), and Portland Pozzolanic Cement — sold in 50 kg bags and in bulk via silo trucks to over 3,000 customers including government entities, contractors, developers, industrial operators, and international buyers across 31 countries. The Public Investment Fund (PIF) is a major shareholder, and the company is listed on the Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul) under symbol 3050 with a share capital of SAR 1.4 billion across 140 million shares.

The business model is fundamentally industrial commodity sales with a direct-to-customer channel: products are sold directly from the three plants, the Jeddah sales office, and via a distributor network across Saudi Arabia, with export sales handled through the company's electronic platform and recently resumed maritime shipments from Jazan Port. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Production technology relies on rotary kiln clinker calcination, cement grinding, and a stack of proprietary quality and emissions systems including Gamma Ray analyzers, X-Ray and electronic computer analysis, and Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS), overlaid with SAP S/4HANA enterprise resource planning (with planned SAP Analytics Cloud integration) and advanced process control automation. Operational scale is supported by on-site limestone quarries (e.g., a 33 km private road at Bisha), ISO 9001/14001/45001/50001 and SASO certifications across all plants, and a workforce of 1,594 employees with a 58% Saudization rate.

The company's strategic posture is defined by a major capital investment cycle — a new 5,000 tons/day Jazan clinker production line with energy-efficient technology achieved first trial clinker production on 2025-12-29 — alongside the 2026 resumption of maritime exports, a KAUST Future of Cement research collaboration (May 2026), and an industrial integration engagement with Al-Soudah Development Company (April 2026) targeting Asir-region mountain tourism and infrastructure. Revenue economics are anchored in Vision 2030 construction demand across southern and western Saudi Arabia, with giga-projects, the Jazan industrial city, and export diversification serving as key growth vectors, while a sustainability agenda targeting carbon neutrality by 2060 shapes product and process investment.
