Maaden Eid breakfast bolsters management-staff relations

Maaden hosted a breakfast for employees in celebration of Eid Al-Fitr at its headquarters in Riyadh on Thursday.
Prominent among those who attended the breakfast was Khaled bin Sale Al-Rowais, vice president of finance at Maaden.
“Our Eid Al-Fitr breakfast was organized to hit two birds with one stone: to provide an opportunity for social interaction between our management and staff members and to enhance the intra-departmental communication in the company,” Al-Rowais told Arab News. Maaden is the largest and the most distinct mining company in Saudi Arabia.
Maaden, also known as Saudi Arabian Mining Company, spearheaded some of the Kingdom’s most successful projects in the field of mining and mineral exploration.
These include Al-Jalamid phosphate mine, Ras Al-Khair phosphate and aluminum processing facilities, Az Zabirah Kaolin and low grade bauxite mine, Al-Ba’itha bauxite mine, Zarghat magnesite mine, Mahd ad Dahab gold and base metals mine, Sukhaybarat gold and base metals mine, Bulghah gold and base metals mine, Al-Hajar gold and base metals mine and Al-Amar gold and base metals mine. The affiliates of Maaden in Ras Al Khair and Jeddah also celebrated Eid Al-Fitr in their respective headquarters in order to welcome their employees after the weeklong holiday.
On behalf of Maaden President and CEO, Al-Rowais wished the company well and hoped that the staff members will become more steadfast and motivated in their efforts to help the company achieve greater heights in the years to come.
Maaden recently made history when it signed a partnership contract with the Mosaic Company and the Saudi Basic Industries (SABIC) to develop a fully integrated phosphate production facility in the Kingdom set for completion in 2016.
