Saudi Cement Co.

What Saudi Cement Co. does

Saudi Cement Company is a publicly listed Saudi joint stock company (Tadawul: 3030), founded in 1955 and headquartered in Dammam, Eastern Province. It manufactures and supplies clinker and cement for construction end-markets including highways, bridges, airports, seaports, railways, metros, and housing and commercial developments. The company's core products are Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC, Type I), Sulfate Resistant Cement (SRC, Type V), and cement clinker, all compliant with ASTM C-150 and SASO-GSO standards. Manufacturing is concentrated at a single Hofuf plant approximately 120 km from Dammam, which operates three kiln lines with a combined capacity of 28,000 MT of clinker per day (9.2 million tons per year, equivalent to 9.7 million tons of cement per year). Lines 7 and 8, commissioned in 2008 at 24,000 tpd combined, were at the time the world's largest kiln installation and remain the company's primary scale advantage.

The business model is commodity cement manufacturing sold via direct sales relationships with contractors and end-users, with pricing negotiated per contract rather than publicly disclosed. The company operates a port terminal in Dammam enabling regional export distribution, and holds strategic minority stakes in United Cement Company (Bahraini cement distribution, since 1999) and Cement Product Industry Co. Ltd (Saudi cement packaging, since 1971). Saudi Cement is positioned as the efficiency, quality, and profitability leader of the Saudi cement industry, with ISO 9001:2015 (TUV NORD), CE (BE-CERT), and SASO-GSO certifications, and has won the King Abdul-Aziz Ideal Factory Award twice. The Saudi shareholder base includes prominent Saudi families (AlRajhi, AlOlayan, Al-Khereiji, AlJuffali, among others), with Mohammed Ali AlGarni serving as both CEO and Board Member and Khaled Abdulrahman AlRajhi as Chairman. Revenue is generated under multi-year contract terms with construction-sector buyers, with the H1 2026 cash dividend distribution of SAR 153 million indicating ongoing profitability despite the absence of publicly disclosed revenue figures.
