The management board of cement producer Jordan Cement Factories Co (JCFC) said at a meeting on February 12, 2008 that the company’s net profit for 2007 declined by 13 per cent YoY to JOD48m (US$67.7m).
The decrease was attributed to a number of reasons, including higher energy costs and raw material prices, combined with the fact that the company did not raise its end prices.
The board meeting appointed Abdullah al-Khateeb board chairman.
The company has two cement plants, one in Fuheis and another one in Rashadiyah, and has an export terminal in Aqaba. Published under Cement News
