The State Company for Rubber Industries and Tires, one of the companies of the Ministry of Industry and Minerals, has signed a partnership contract with the private sector to establish an integrated industrial project for specialised rubber products.
Director General Eng. Haider Nasser Dhaher said the project comprises three main production lines:
- Rubber bearings: 3,000 units annually
- Bridge expansion joints: 5,000 linear metres annually
- Bullet-resistant rubber blocks: 15,000 blocks annually
- Rubber conveyor belts (textile and steel cord types): 84,000 square metres annually
The initiative is expected to supply infrastructure projects with locally manufactured products, facilitate technology transfer, and create employment opportunities, while reducing reliance on imports.
