Forty-seven leading Saudi companies took part in an exhibition in Moscow that highlighted the achievements of Saudi industries in various fields.

The event was held under the banner, “The Saudi Exhibition for National Industry,” and had Sabic as the star participant. Crown Prince Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud inaugurated the exhibition that ran for five days from September 3. Crown Prince Abdullah and a senior Saudi delegation visited the Sabic pavilion where Mohammed Al Motawa, general manager, corporate communications, received them.

In recent years Sabic has made inroads into Europe’s petrochemicals production sector. Sabic EuroPetrochemicals owns two petrochemical production sites in Geleen (Netherlands) and Gelsenkirchen (Germany) for the production, marketing and sale of polypropylenes, polyethylenes and hydrocarbons. They annually sell about 2.6 million tonnes of polymers, mainly in Europe. About 2,300 people are employed at Sabic EuroPetrochemicals.

Sabic has two large industrial sites in Saudi Arabia - Al-Jubail and Yanbu - with 16 world-scale production complexes.
