BC Conduit has started production of a variety of high quality unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (UPVC) compounds in its state-of-the-art factory in Bahra, which has an annual output capacity of over 36,000 tons.

The company sources UPVC feedstock for the new factory from Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) to produce the granule used for jacketing and insulating the cables. SABIC is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of UPVC and the sole producer in Saudi Arabia.

The factory built with the expertise of Buss Company of Switzerland, is completely integrated and equipped with the latest technologies in the field.

The ability to manufacture UPVC compounds improves BCC’s control over the material used in its cable and wire production, reduces product cost and adds higher performance values to its products.

The new factory also eliminates the need for local sourcing of UPVC compounds, ensures superior quality production of cables and creates more career opportunities in the region at the same time.
