Steel, is one of the vital building element of the modern construction world. Steel industry is an intensely competitive global industry and is experiencing a steady growth. Identifying the importance of steel and due to increasing constructions projects in Saudi, the Pan-Kingdom Investment Company conducted a research on importance and demand for steel in Saudi. After analyzing the situation and research outcome, they recognized that there is an increasing demand for steel products especially in southern part of Saudi and thus proposed a plan to launch a Steel manufacturing plant that will include all industrial stages from primary to transformational.
South Steel Factory SOLB, was establised in industrial estate of Jizan and was inaugurated by King of Saudi Arabia Abdullah Bin Abdel Aziz on 4th November 2006. With an investment value of Ten Billion Saudi Riyals, the execution of this steel project was planned in stages and soon after the inauguration the first stage was started. Al-Jedaie group has expanded their realm to steel manufacturing and owns a 10 percent share of South Steel Factory.
With an area of (5,000,000) five million sq. meters, Pan-Kingdom Company started the project’s initial stage: production of steel pellets and bars. In accordance with Saudi and International standards, the South Steel factory target production of steel pellets and steel bars was (1,000,000) one million tons per annum. Studies and designs were completed according to the standards and predicted the productivity to increase to (2,000,000) two million tons per annum.
