Southern Province Cement Co. (SPCC) finalized the technical and financial bids for Jazan plant, the cement producer said in a statement to Tadawul.  

The contract is being reviewed and will be signed upon completing the necessary measures, the statement added. 

In December, the Saudi cement producer announced receiving technical and financial bids to construct a new production line with a production capacity of 10,000 tons per day (tpd).  

SPCC's board of directors decided in May to start the construction of a production line with a capacity of 5,000 tpd, and develop the infrastructure for another line with a production capacity of 5,000 tpd, according to data available with Argaam.  

The board of directors decided in June 2021 to establish a production line at Jazan factory with a production capacity of 10,000 tpd, to replace the current production line.
