Sinoma completes Yanbu Cement project and signs new Algerian contract

Saudi Arabia

Austroplan, acting on behalf of Yanbu Cement Company (YCC), Saudi Arabia, awarded the Final Taking Over Certificate (FTOC), signifying the successful completion of the project by Sinoma (Nanjing).

The YCC 10 000 tpd project was the fifth cement production line of Yanbu Cement Company. The previous four lines were built by European general contractors.

This project is Sinoma’s third 10 000 tpd production line constructed in Saudi Arabia. The company successfully overcame many unexpected difficulties during the construction period.
