Mohammad Al-Mojil Group, a long established leader in Saudi Arabia’s industrial construction sector, announced that new projects awarded to date exceeded SAR 2.7 billion ($720m).
The Group’s new projects were significantly boosted after winning a number of contracts totalling SAR 1.5 billion ($400m) with Saudi Kayan. Mohammad Al-Mojil Group will provide a wide range of construction services to Saudi Kayan’s petrochemical complex at Jubail.
Commenting on the company’s performance, Nicholas El-Khoury, President & CEO, Mohammad Al-Mojil Group said, “Projects which are currently being executed by the Group exceed SAR 4 billion. This is due to the strong performance of MMG and the confidence of the industrial sector in the company. Against this backdrop we believe the year will see continued positive developments for our business from a financial and operational perspective”.
The contract, which commenced in September 2007, involves general construction works on a new plant in Jubail, including civil, structural, electrical, instrumentation and piping.
Commenting on the contract, Mr. Fahad Al-Raqtan, Managing Director at Mohammad Al-Mojil Group, said, “The awarding of this contract underlines Saudi Kayan’s trust in MMG to deliver the project on time and on budget, to the highest internationally accepted standards of quality and safety. We are looking forward to working closely with Saudi Kayan to ensure the success of this prestigious and highly technical project.”

“2007 is looking to be another successful year for Mohammad Al-Mojil Group as we continue to win a healthy proportion of the new petrochemical projects coming on-stream across the Kingdom. Our ability to offer our clients the successful delivery of projects to exacting technical specifications has recently been reinforced. We expect to increase the number of our employees to 24,000 by the end of the year.
