Eastern Province Cement Company has invited specialised companies to submit bids for setting up a new production line with a capacity of 10,000 tonnes per day.
The company will replace some obsolete production lines at its existing plant in Khursaniyah area to maximise production using the current infrastructure, it said in a statement to the Saudi stock exchange.
The project’s cost will be disclosed after the completion of the studies.
Eastern Province Cement had announced plans for the new production line in 2015, the statement said.
The cement producer holds limestone exploration licenses in Khursaniyah and Najibiya areas.
