Founded in 1997, Riyadh Cement Company (RCC) is a Saudi joint-stock company listed on the Saudi Exchange (Tadawul - Main Market). RCC manufactures and supplies both white and grey cement from an integrated industrial complex in Al-Muzahimiyah, northwest of Riyadh, an area endowed with high-purity limestone and essential raw materials. The complex comprises highly efficient production lines operated with state-of-the-art equipment and AI-enabled control systems, ensuring dependable quality, reliability and cost discipline for national projects and select export markets.
RCC's purpose is straightforward: provide the Kingdom with high-quality, eco-friendly white and grey cement products while optimizing resources, elevating energy efficiency, protecting the environment and localizing jobs. This purpose is codified in the Company's Vision to be the environmental development choice in Saudi Arabia, its Mission, and a values system that prizes innovation, collaboration, growth, quality, and transparency across the enterprise.
RCC's portfolio spans the principal cement types demanded by Saudi contractors and ready-mix producers:
These products are manufactured to recognized Saudi and international standards and are supported by technical service to align end-use with performance.
Riyadh Cement Company ("RCC") operates an integrated cement platform organized around two core lines of business—Grey Cement and White Cement, produced from a single industrial campus in Al-Muzahimiyah, northwest of Riyadh. The site sits over high-quality limestone and other essential raw materials and houses three highly efficient production lines supported by state-of-the-art equipment and artificial-intelligence technologies. This configuration allows end-to-end control from quarry to dispatch.
The plant contains two production lines with a design capacity of 3.4 million tons of grey clinker annually. Both lines share raw-material preparation, utilities, maintenance, quality control, and logistics infrastructure, giving RCC economies of scale and reliability across campaigns.
This is a dual-process line for the production of grey and white clinker of various types. Commercial production began in 2007, with a design capacity of 1.7 million tons of grey clinker annually. In 2019, it was developed to produce white clinker with a design capacity of 660,000 tons of white clinker annually.
The second production line is dedicated to the production of grey clinker. Commercial production began in 2010, with a design capacity of 1.7 million tons of grey clinker annually.
Our White Cement plant is the first of its kind in the Kingdom to produce white cement. Established in 1997, it has a production capacity of 320,000 tons of white clinker annually. Through the dual-process capability of Line 1, the Company can produce approximately one million tons of white clinker annually when market conditions warrant, providing unmatched flexibility and scale for premium architectural applications nationwide.
Producing white clinker demands stringent control of raw-material purity (notably low iron and manganese content) and precise kiln operation to achieve target whiteness and strength. RCC's dedicated white line is engineered for this specialty, while the dual-process Line 1 can be brought into white mode at peak architectural demand, covering large façade packages, landscape features, and municipal realm works without stretching lead times.
White cement is supplied in bulk and bag formats suitable for GRC producers, terrazzo and tile manufacturers, dry-mix packers, and finishing contractors. Centralized dispatch from Al-Muzahimiyah provides short lead times into Riyadh's mega-project corridor and reliable national coverage, with selective export channels that help stabilize kiln loading and unit costs across cycles.

RCC's production base in Al-Muzahimiyah (northwest of Riyadh) provides a meaningful logistics advantage in a heavy, high-freight product category such as cement. Proximity to Riyadh and central-region developments supports efficient distribution, customer responsiveness, and stronger competitiveness—particularly where project density is high and supply reliability is critical.
RCC is ranked among the top Saudi cement producers with a ~6.4% market share and approximately 3.6+ million tons of annual production capacity, while holding a dominant position in white cement (more than 50% white cement market share)—a key differentiation in a market where few producers operate at scale in white cement.
RCC operates three highly efficient production lines supported by advanced equipment and AI-enabled technologies, providing production flexibility across grey and white clinker. The grey cement plant has a designed capacity of 3.52 million tons of grey clinker annually, while the white cement plant capacity reaches 320,000 tons of clinker annually with the ability (when operating the first line for white clinker) to reach approximately one million tons of white clinker per year.
RCC's investment case is reinforced by its focus on continuous improvement initiatives spanning production optimization, maintenance efficiency, and digital transformation. The Company's operational priorities include reducing production costs, optimizing energy use, and strengthening supply chain resilience through strategic partnerships.
RCC's financial profile is supported by balance sheet strength, cash generation capability, and a track record of dividend distributions. For FY2025, the Company reported revenue of SAR 787.6 million, alongside stated free cash flow of SAR 111.7 million and ROE of 10.96%. The Company also disclosed a SAR 1 per share dividend distribution in September 2025 (total SAR 120 million), reinforcing continuity of shareholder returns.
In a sector where energy cost and carbon intensity are increasingly strategic, RCC's sustainability initiatives strengthen long-term competitiveness. The Company has invested SAR 249.8 million in energy-efficient clinker production, is developing waste heat recovery projects generating gross 12.7 MW, and is progressing circular economy initiatives and alternative material use.
RCC emphasizes transparent stakeholder communication and governance sustainability, supported by its corporate identity evolution and market presence, and reinforced through internationally recognized management system certifications (including energy management ISO certification disclosed in the annual report).
