INTRODUCTION TO SABIC
INTRODUCTION (SABIC HISTORY)

In 1976, a royal decree was issued establishing the Saudi Basic Industries (SABIC) whose
primary task was to set up and operate hydrocarbon and mineral-based industries in Saudi
Arabia and transferring them into value added industrial products.

Rapid Global Growth – Sabic started with a capital of SR 10 billion. The target was to
establish and commission several basic industries that depend on local hydrocarbon and
mineral resources as feedstock.

In a relatively short time, SABIC has established and commissioned 19 industrial complexes
in Jubail and Yanbu. After over three decades since its formation, SABIC is enjoying a highly
competitive advantage.

In addition, SABIC acquired the US Company, GE Plastics, in 2007 and named it SABIC
Innovative Plastics, adding 38 new manufacturing and compounding facilities to its
operation.

SABIC now ranks among the world’s top five petrochemical companies.
