Alghanim Industries, one of the MENA region’s largest privately owned companies, has broken ground on a new Kirby Building Systems pre-engineered building (PEB) and structural steel manufacturing facility in Saudi Arabia. This strategic investment is set to transform the Kingdom into a global hub for high-quality steel structure exports, reinforcing Saudi Arabia’s position as a major industrial player on the world stage.

The new facility in Sudair Industrial City, spanning 256,000 sqm, is designed to bolster Saudi Arabia’s export capabilities, with a planned annual production capacity of 100,000 metric tons of structural steel and 100,000 metric tons of PEB. This expansion directly supports the Kingdom’s ambition to become a leading exporter of advanced industrial solutions, supplying high-quality steel structures to international markets across the GCC, Africa, the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia.

With this expansion, Kirby Building Systems solidifies its position as the largest PEB manufacturer outside North America. The new plant will not only serve domestic infrastructure projects but will also be a key supplier to regional and global markets, ensuring that Saudi-made steel structures meet growing international demand.
