ArcelorMittal Jubail
ArcelorMittal Jubail is a strategic location for the company's pipes and tubes business. It provides access to international sea lanes through the Persian Gulf.
The Jubail Industrial City, where the facility is located, is situated north of Al Jubail on the Persian Gulf. The mill will have a capacity of 500,000 tons per year.
About two-thirds of the mill's capacity will be used for tubes used in the oil industry, and the remainder for line pipe. The mill will produce tubes in sizes ranging from 4 inches to 14 inches.
Construction of the mill is planned to commence at the end of the first quarter of 2008 and to be completed by the last quarter of 2009. Once it is up and running, the mill is expected to employ 420 people.
The agreement with the Bin Jarallah Group was signed on February 14, 2007. ArcelorMittal will hold a 51 percent share in the company established for this project.
The mill will partially be funded by the Saudi Investment Development Fund. ArcelorMittal will apply for an investment license under the Foreign Investment Regulations of The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
By entering the Middle East's thriving markets, ArcelorMittal aims to strengthen its relationship with Saudi Aramco, who will be one of the key customers of the mill.
