The National Titanium Dioxide Company Ltd has been manufacturing TiO2 (using imported rutile ore) at its ultra-modern Yanbu Al-Sinaiyah plant in Saudi Arabia since 1991. We market our products under the increasingly well-known Cristal brand.

With our HQ in Jeddah and offices in both the UK and Singapore, we’re ideally placed to provide your business with high-quality TiO2. We are a limited liability company, owned by three partners, the National Industrialization Company (Saudi Arabia), the Gulf Investment Corporation (Kuwait), and a private investor.

In 2002, we increased our original TiO2 production capacity from 70,000 metric tonnes a year to 100,000 metric tonnes – in line with a projected annual rise in world demand of around 3% to 2005. This expansion makes Cristal the largest privately owned chemical company in Saudi Arabia. It also reinforces our position as one of the world’s most important suppliers of exportable TiO2.

We are planning to expand our network of offices further in the future and will keep you posted on all developments through this website.
