Projects such as Neom have spurred innovations in the manufacturing construction sector in the region.
The total area of the Tabuk Steel Factory is expected to be at 33,400 square meters (sq m). The project will also include a 13,500 square meters of production facilities. This will also include 12 assembly lines which will serve its product range. Once it is fully operational, Tabuk Steel Factory will supply various construction materials across the region.
