We signed a second contract with NL Supervision because they deliver their commitments and can be depended on to support us even in difficult times. They are strongly focused on solving bottleneck issues, improving plant productivity and ensuring long-term plant reliability.

Arabian Cement aspires to be the clinker and cement producer of reference; we see NL Supervision as the partner who can support us with that aspiration.
