“We extend our congratulations to the Danube group on the opening of their new melamine factory here in Saudi Arabia,” said Khalid Abdulrahman Al-Waris, chairman of the Municipality of Um Salam, Jeddah.
“We are confident that this new facility will be able to produce world class melamine based products to meet the growing demand in today’s construction market,” he said.
He said the factory will creare more job opportunities and play a major part in the economic development of the municipality.
The chairman opened the factory in the presence of M. P. Thamimul Hussain, group general manager, Danube, and other key officials and representatives from Danube’s partner companies.
