SULB is a joint venture between FOULATH (51%) and YAMATO Kogyo (49%) from Japan. SULB, at its Bahrain operation has a DRI plant (1.5 million tons/Y), a melt shop (1 million tons/Y) and a heavy section mill (600K tons/Y). At SULB’s Jubail (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) facility, SULB has a second light/medium rolling mill with an annual capacity of 450K tons/Y.
SULB boasts a strategic location in the GCC and is a fully integrated producer with the capability of producing from DRI to structural steel products. SULB’s cost effective integration and comprehensive product range are further reinforced by the latest technical know-how imparted by the Japanese shareholders YAMATO Kogyo (who operate structural steel plants in Japan, Thailand and the USA)
These advantages insure that SULB is strategically positioned to take advantage of the expected growth in GCC demand of structural steel.
