Abdulaziz Suleiman Al-Humaid, Sabic Vice President, Metals, and Hadeed Chairman, signed the contract on behalf of Sabic. The new plant, which is scheduled to start-up in the second half of 2012, will have an annual production capacity of 1m tons of steel billets. It will increase the total production capacity of Hadeed to 6m tons, of which long products will account for 4m.
Al-Humaid said that the new plant will make Hadeed self-sufficient in feedstock, intermediate and finished products. The steel billets produced at Hadeed will meet the requirements of its galvanizing lines including the new one that is to be built. Hadeed will be able to provide high quality specialized wire rolls to the plants that now import the product as well as meet the needs of special projects, Al-Humaid said.
