Yemen Saudi Cement Co. will start trial operations at its plant near Aden in the second quarter of this year, the maker of building materials said in a statement posted on the Saudi bourse Web site.
The plant will have an annual capacity of 1.4Mt of cement.
Last month, Yamama said its fourth-quarter 2009 net profit soared 70% YoY to SAR145m (US$38.7m) due to higher sales.
