Markets
Most of our output goes to Jordan's cement and construction industry. We have exported to Qatar and Turkey, and earlier to Lebanon and Syria. Our location gives us road access to Saudi Arabia, the Gulf states and the UAE, and sea access through Aqaba.
What comes next
Expansion is planned: drying and grinding equipment, which would allow dried grades and silica flour. We will add those products to this site once they are produced and tested.
Our group
Our wider group also includes Abzakh Contracting and an import and export business.
