Made in KSA

[The SC]

The Saudi Chemical Holding Company built a complex of factories for military industries, where the factory was completed and ready in terms of buildings, production lines, equipping warehouses, and completing safety systems..on-site protection!

The chemical company invested an amount of one billion riyals to establish an industrial complex project for explosives and military materials, including warheads, Explosive charges, detonation fuses, etc...

All in one site and independently of any external resource

It is considered a great project that fills the need of Saudi Arabia and the region for such precise factories and its products in the field of defense and armament, as the factory is the first of its kind in the Middle East and Africa, to produce all kinds of ammunition in one complex and independently with local capabilities..

Dutch-Saudi joint venture signs agreement with Aramco for metals reclamation complex in Saudi Arabia​

SARBV-UCI partnership to build Vanadium production plant In Jubail under Phase 1

AMG said in a press statement on Tuesday that the complex is a big move towards developing a market for Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries and is in line with the Kingdom’s ambitions to accelerate energy transition, achieve sustainability and drive circular investment.

The first phase includes processing Vanadium concentrate from the Jazan Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle Plant (licensed by Shell) to produce high-purity Vanadium Pentoxide; building a regional research and development centre for testing a residue-upgrading catalyst; and installing a Lithium Vanadium Battery (LIVA)and a vanadium electrolyte production plant.

The Kingdom and the GCC region are becoming globally pivotal for the supply and demand of Vanadium, the statement said.

The vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) industry is poised for significant growth in the coming years, equal to nearly 33GWh a year of deployments by 2030, according to new forecasting.

Vanadium-alloy steels are used in virtually every high-strength structural steel application in military equipment, including military-grade AH36, AH32, and MIL22698 steels used to build U.S. Naval aircraft carriers and submarines, as well as in combat vehicles, tactical vehicles etc.

Vanadium can be used to make steel alloys, for use in space vehicles, nuclear reactors and aircraft carriers, etc...

Actually the entire petrochemical sector in KSA is immense and has developed into pure chemicals, plastics etc. KSA is a global player on this front already.. SABIC for instance comes to mind.

The Howitzer is excellent and has a very advanced firing and control system, it is characterized by its speed of preparation for firing within 3 minutes .. but the important thing is that the deal includes the two most important elements to sustain operation without referring to the manufacturer, which are:

1. (Manufacture of artillery shells locally), especially guided munitions and rocket-propelled grenades.
2. Maintenance, manufacture and replacement of spare parts that break down quickly at the very least.

So in this regard, it is a successful deal by all standards.
