MISSIONAbout RIC
Plan, promote, develop and manage Petrochemical and Energy-intensive industrial cities through successful customer focus and partnerships with investors, employees, communities and other stakeholders.
Jubail Industrial City is located in the heart of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province. Jubail Industrial City was initially developed in 1978 with the aim of furthering the Kingdom’s industrialization efforts, and is now a well-established, world scale petrochemical industrial center, and is the Kingdom’s leading destination for foreign joint venture capital investments and other types of investment. Today, Jubail is home to some of the world’s key players in the petrochemical sector, including Saudi Aramco, Sabic, Dow, Total, Chevron, Shell and a number of other major companies. Total capital investment to date is estimated at over 400 billion SAR (110 billion USD).
JIC comprises a large community area and two petrochemical complexes known as Jubail 1 (J1) and Jubail 2 (J2). J1 is mostly built out and J2 is intended to be the main focus for future industrial development.
Jubail 2 is planned to include new primary, secondary and downstream petrochemical developments. In addition to the above, the industrial areas also include an extensive array of light industries which provide support to primary, secondary and downstream industries and include commercial services, light and heavy steel fabrication and manufacturing, industrial services and construction related industries.

Despite the fact that Saudi Arabia is primarily known for its oil and gas, the Kingdom also has substantial mineral resources, and has set an objective to become a global leader in this new sector. Building on its success in Jubail and Yanbu, Saudi Arabia is building a city dedicated to the processing of mineral resources. The Ras Al-Khair Industrial City (RIC) located approximately 60 km northwest of Jubail, will be a significant global and world-class “metals and minerals city”, with integrated industrial complexes, that leverage the key mineral resources of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the existing low fuel/power competitive cost advantages, and the industrial city development and management expertise of the Royal Commission.
RIC is being built on the accomplishments of the Royal Commission at Jubail Industrial City. RIC already has Ma'aden Phosphate Company and Ma'aden Aluminum Company industrial complexes.RIC will provide a strong strategic link and synergies to existing industries in Jubail. RIC, as a city for metals and minerals industries, and Jubail, as a city for major petrochemical industries, together will constitute one of the most significant integrated industrial regions in the world.
ABOUT RIC
RIC objectives are as follows:
Industrial Investment Manual
W W W . R C J Y . G O V . S A 05
Opening up a new economic sector, and thereby diversifying the Kingdom’s economy and creating sustainable jobs and opportunities.
Making Saudi Arabia a hub for the metals and minerals industry thereby becoming a world class competitor in these markets.
Using the core minerals complex as an incubator to maximize value creation through vertically and geographically integrated downstream industries.
Increasing self-reliance for selected industries through import substitution.
