Established in October 2011, Sadara Chemical Company is a joint venture developed by the Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Saudi Aramco) and The Dow Chemical Company (Dow). It is an unprecedented undertaking � the largest chemical complex ever built in the world in a single phase, with 26 integrated world-scale manufacturing plants, over 3 million metric tons of capacity per year, and a total investment of about US$20 billion.

Sadara will be the first chemical complex to crack naphtha in the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). This advance will open the door to new specialty chemical plants and businesses in the Kingdom and take the Saudi chemical industry far beyond its existing commodity products.
