Qassim Cement line resumes production, Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia-based Qassim Cement Company (QCC) said that a fire which broke out last Wednesday was caused by a fuel leak from the pumping station. Damage from the blaze led to the temporary suspension of one kiln line. However, the company said it embarked on immediate repair measures and production was scheduled to have resumed yesterday. QCC does not expect the kiln stoppage to have a negative impact on sales.
