Saudi Readymix, a leading readymix manufacturer in the kingdom, has notched up record investments totalling SR760 million ($202.97 million) for 2007 and 2008 to allow it to cater to the surge in demand for readymix in the Saudi market.

“These investments should enable us to position the company as a reliable supplier in the construction sector of total concreting solutions,” says a spokesman for the company.
By offering contractors of large-scale projects the advantage of a dedicated fleet and labour force on their sites that is big enough to meet their needs, even the biggest projects can be adequately supplied without defaulting on others, he adds.
“With the kingdom having announced a large number of mega projects, we thought it best to embark on building manufacturing capabilities that will help us allocate resources to serve more than 15 mega projects concurrently while maintaining the same level of service to our other customers. These are all things that we have invested in, and are what the market is now demanding from serious players in the construction industry,” says Fadi Mujahed, marketing and business development director at Saudi Readymix.
