Saudi Arabia-based cement producer Najran Cement said it has shut Kiln Line No 1 for scheduled maintenance which will take 25 days to complete.

The cost of the shutdown is around SAR5m (US$1.3m), according to the company’s projections.

Last Monday the company said it was ready to begin trial operations of its new 6500tpd Kiln Line 3 within a week.
