Over the next 20 years, Saudi Readymix continued to grow in size and production by opening a block plant in Jubail, a ready-mixed concrete factory in the 1st industrial City in Dammam, factories outside of the Eastern Province in each of Riyadh and Jeddah, and acquiring its first quarry in Abu Hadriyah (more than 134 km NW of Dammam[9]).[10]
