Zoujaj expands furnace project, adds production line upgrades

Zoujaj raises total furnace expansion project cost to SAR 119.9 million after adding production line upgrades

The National Company for Glass Industries (Zoujaj) expanded the scope of its furnace reconstruction and expansion project to include the modernization and refurbishment of its production lines.

This aims to maximize the project's production capacity and support its ongoing manufacturing restructuring and product development strategy.

According to a Tadawul filing, implementation will begin as previously announced in the fourth quarter of 2026.

The company said the furnace reconstruction and expansion cost remains SAR 58.5 million, while the additional cost for upgrading and rehabilitating the production lines amounts to SAR 61.4 million. The upgrades were incorporated into the project to ensure the production lines are fully ready to operate alongside the rebuilt furnace at maximum efficiency.

As a result, the total project cost has increased to SAR 119.9 million.

According to Argaam data, Zoujaj's board approved the furnace expansion and reconstruction project in April 2025. The project will increase the furnace size from 65.5 meters to 84.5 meters, boosting production capacity from 210 tons per day to 280 tons per day, at an estimated cost of SAR 58.5 million.
