Sadara's vision to unlock opportunities in regional downstream industry
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 05 - 12 - 2016

SADARA Chemical Company participated in the 11th Annual GPCA Forum that took place last Nov. 27-29 in Dubai. Going with the theme of this year's event "Competitiveness: Riding New Waves," the company underscored its vision for the regional downstream industry in Saudi Arabia and the region.
