Construction for first stage started in earnest during 2009, and Pan-Kingdom Company shall, by end of the financial year 2011, commission the first stage and commence supply of Steel Billets and constructional quality re-bars. As part of the economic and social development program for the country, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has founded so-called "Economic Cities" which shall assist the further regional and industrial diversification of the Kingdom. Jazan Economic City (JEC) will offer much greater employment opportunities for the southwest region of Saudi Arabia through the establishment of a petrochemical and metallurgical complex.

Solb Steel Company shall produce 1 million tons of liquid steel, 1 million tons of billets of sizes 130 x 130 mm sq and 150 X 150 mm sq, at casting speeds of 4.5 and 3.8 m/min respectively, and 0.5 million tons of construction quality straight re-bars of diameter 8 mm to 32 mm corresponding to BS 4449 grades A, B & C, ASTM 706 A to M, ASTM A 615 M and EN262/2000. The remaining 0.5 million tons of billets shall be sold as semis. The main production units are:
1. 150 t Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) of CONCAST AG design
2. 5-Strand Billet caster of CONCAST AG design
3. A 22-stand Rolling Mill of SMS MEER design
