What The Qassim Cement Co. does

Qassim Cement Company (QCC) is a Saudi Joint Stock Company founded in 1976 under Royal Decree No. M/62 and headquartered in Buraydah, Qassim Region, Saudi Arabia. The company manufactures and sells four cement product lines — Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC), Sulphate Resistant Cement (SRC), and Finishing Cement (FC-LSC) — each certified to Saudi standards (SASO-GSO 1914/2009, SASO 2536/2005, SASO-ASTM C91/2018) and produced under strict quality control from high-grade raw materials. QCC was the first cement company in Saudi Arabia to receive SASO quality certification for both OPC and SRC, and has cumulatively produced and sold more than 93 million tons of cement across 5,000+ key projects.

QCC generates revenue by selling cement to B2B customers — construction companies, ready-mix concrete producers, building contractors, and infrastructure project owners — through direct enterprise sales, customer and supplier portals, and field relationships concentrated in the Qassim and Hail regions following the June 2024 acquisition of Hail Cement Company. Current annual production capacity is approximately 4 million metric tons across its plants, with a 10,000 TPD fourth production line under construction at Buraydah under a contract with Sinoma International Engineering and financed via a SAR 1.5 billion Sharia-compliant facility from Saudi National Bank. The company reports FY2025 revenue of SAR 1,133,302,818 (~USD 302M, up 17.13% YoY) and Q1 2026 revenue of SAR 292.8M with SAR 68.7M net profit, and is publicly listed on the Tadawul Saudi Stock Exchange. The company also runs an ESG/sustainability program anchored by a 'Green Initiative' launched in October 2024 and a fuel-switching gas-conversion program at Buraydah.

Products and services

• Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) The first product produced by Qassim Cement since 1979. Ordinary Portland Cement is the highest-volume cement type globally, used predominantly in the production of concrete where cement is mixed with aggregates and water for structural elements such as columns, foundations, panels, beams, roads, and dams. Complies with Saudi Standard SASO-GSO 1914/2009.
• Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) Portland Cement characterized by Low Heat of Hydration, Low Alkali Content, and Better Workability. Manufactured by adding a specific percentage of natural Pozzolana (a natural material with reactive silica) to improve cement properties. Complies with Saudi Standard SASO 2536/2005. Suitable for large concrete structures, marine structures, masonry mortars, hydraulic structures, and plastering.
• Sulphate Resistant Cement (SRC) Specialized cement for building structures exposed to soil or water for prolonged periods where sulphate content is high. Distinguished by lower Tri-calcium Aluminates content which prevents interaction with sulfate ions that cause concrete expansion and cracking. Qassim Cement was the first company in Saudi Arabia to receive SASO quality certification for this product. Certified under SASO-GSO 1914/2009. Recommended for geothermal areas, mining environments, wharfs, sea walls, dams, reservoirs, water pipelines, and offshore platforms.
• Finishing Cement (FC-LSC) Key product introduced in 2003 for various finishing purposes including finishing jobs, plaster, masonry, tile works, and flooring. Complies with Saudi Standard SASO – ASTM C91/2018. Features excellent workability, lesser cracks due to low Heat of Hydration, long setting time, reduced or no efflorescence, less paint consumption, and smooth surface while plastering. Not permitted for use in structural works, concrete flooring, and pipe manufacturing.
