Al Jouf undertakes unscheduled kiln maintenance

Al Jouf Cement has temporarily halted its production line for unscheduled maintenance until 5 October, the Saudi-based company said in a statement to the bourse.

Al Jouf Cement said that the shutdown will cost SAR18m (USD 4.8m/EUR 3.5m), but will not impact its ability to meet contractual obligations to clients.

The company also stopped production in the last two weeks of June for unscheduled maintenance.
