Al Jouf begins trial production of new line, Saudi Arabia

Al Jouf Cement has launched trial operations of its second production line, the Saudi-based cement producer said in a bourse statement.

The new kiln line has a clinker capacity of 5000tpd. In late October, the company had signed an agreement with Al Rajhi Bank for a SAR400m (US$106.7m) loan to partially finance the construction of the new line, to be repaid by June 2019.
