Sulb

First fully integrated medium and heavy beams and structural steel sections producer in Middle East region. SULB is a joint venture between Foulath (51%) and Japan-based Yamato Kogyo (49%). SULB has two rolling mills, one in KSA and one in Bahrain and is a fully integrated producer from iron ore to finished steel products. The company boasts a strategic location, and its positive forecasts are further reinforced with cutting-edge technical know-how from Yamato Kogyo and shareholders who are among the region’s most reputable and committed investors. The light to medium structural mill situated in Jubail, Saudi Arabia, previously known as UGS, became Saudi SULB following its acquisition by SULB in 2011, and boasts a production capacity of around 400,000 tons. Comprising a hot rolling medium and light section continuous mill, the facility utilizes steel billets supplied from SULB’s Bahrain-based facility, which is situated 150 km away in Bahrain's Al-Hidd Industrial Area. In Bahrain, SULB's facilities consist of a direct reduced iron (DRI) plant, a melt shop (MS) and a heavy & medium section rolling mill (HSM). The KSA based SULB facilities can now benefit from in-house billet supply from our melt shop in Bahrain. The Heavy Section Mill in Bahrain will achieve 600,000 tons at full capacity. The combined structural steel capacity of our two facilities will ultimately be 1 million tons per annum.
