What NAMA Chemicals does

NAMA Chemicals Company SJSC is a Saudi Arabia-based joint stock corporation, founded in 1992 and listed on the Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul) under ticker NAMA (tadawul:2210). The company develops, manufactures, and markets petrochemicals and industrial chemicals, with a core product portfolio of epoxy resins, epichlorohydrin, anhydrous caustic soda, and related chlor-alkali products (chlorine, hydrochloric acid, sodium hypochlorite, calcium chloride). Manufacturing is concentrated at Jubail Industrial City through core operating subsidiaries JANA (Jubail Chemical Industries, 120,000 tonnes per annum epoxy capacity — the only epoxy producer in the Middle East) and SODA (Arabian Alkali Company, 50,000 tonnes per annum caustic soda prills), with additional capacity from the Hassad project contributing approximately 250,000 tonnes per annum of chlor-alkali derivatives.

The business operates a direct sales-led go-to-market model. Sales representatives at Jubail manage customer relationships, orders, and fulfilment, with SAP SD handling pricing conditions and master data. European customers are served through wholly-owned subsidiaries Nama Europe (Merligen, Switzerland) and Nama Germany (Lörrach), which together provide REACH registration management and localised logistics — enabling compliant exports across Africa, Turkey, the Middle East, and parts of Europe. Products are sold under NAMA's proprietary Razeen® brand (launched 2004) and under a long-running Araldite® license from Huntsman Advanced Materials, reaching end markets in coatings, composites, civil construction, petroleum and gas, paper, textiles, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and municipal water treatment.

NAMA generates revenue through one-time product transactions and ongoing industrial supply contracts; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled via direct sales engagement. The customer base is broadly diversified across industrial manufacturers globally, with no single named anchor customer identified. The company employs 251–500 staff and is governed by a board that includes independent and executive members, with a CEO (Eng. Abdullah Mohammed Al-Salem) and VP Manufacturing (Muhammed Al-Ghamdi) drawn from senior SABIC and SADAF petrochemicals backgrounds. The company is ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certified, has been named among Saudi Arabia's top 100 companies, and publicly positions itself in alignment with Saudi Vision 2030 industrial localisation objectives.
