The Company, with a seasoned technical and professional leadership, will be developing a synthetic graphite cluster in Saudi Arabia. The cluster will include a Needle Coke plant (Needle coke is a precursor for the graphite project) to be developed inside the facility of Rabigh Refinery & Petrochemical Company (PRC). PRC will supply the scares Decant Oil feedstock. In addition, the cluster will include a Graphite plant that will be most probably co-located next to KSA proposed Electric Vehicle (EV) plant.
