A complete polysilicon plant in Jubail

Asset overview

The asset is an integrated polysilicon production facility inside Jubail Industrial City, the largest industrial complex in Saudi Arabia and a principal petrochemical and downstream manufacturing hub in the region. The scope covers process units, mechanical and electrical equipment, instrumentation and control systems, supporting utilities, buildings and structural steel.

The asset is offered as a single unit. This is an offering to one buyer acquiring the full scope, not a piecemeal equipment sale. That structure preserves the integrity of the process trains and the interdependence of the utilities, which is what materially determines the value of the asset.

Why this asset, and why now

China's polysilicon sector is moving through consolidation, but the route remains fluid. A platform with three billion yuan in registered capital launched in December 2025 to support capacity restructuring, before China's antitrust regulator halted the proposed collective approach in January 2026. In February 2026, Tongwei announced a proposed acquisition of Qinghai Lihao that remains preliminary. Separately, OCI Holdings' official investor materials show a plan to expand non-China capacity from 35,000 to 56,600 metric tons per year by 2027.

That context makes any existing production capacity outside China strategically relevant to buyers building auditable supply chains. The asset's location in Saudi Arabia places it outside the sourcing restrictions that affect parts of the Chinese supply chain, and gives a buyer a stable jurisdiction with direct access to Gulf ports. Whether that applies to a specific commercial case remains a matter for the buyer and its advisors to assess.

At the same time, Gulf sovereign wealth funds and investment funds are directing capital toward industrial assets tied to the energy transition and semiconductors, within industrial localisation programmes and Saudi Vision 2030. This asset sits directly within that thesis.

Transaction structure

The offering is a whole-asset sale in a single transaction. Takamol deals directly with qualified parties and their advisors. The standard route is: an initial enquiry identifying the party and the commercial purpose; release of public materials; a confidentiality agreement giving access to detailed materials; a site inspection; a non-binding offer; confirmatory due diligence; and negotiation of definitive agreements.

A buyer may target restart in place, or dismantling and relocation to another jurisdiction. Each route changes the inspection requirements, the timeline and the permits involved, so parties are asked to state their intent early enough for the inspection route to be built around it.

What is documented and what requires inspection

Documented at present: a 44-page industrial contents brochure supplied by Takamol, field visual materials, a 360° virtual tour covering areas of the site, and a classified directory of asset categories.

Requiring inspection and confirmation: technical specifications, nameplate data, production capacities, quantities, equipment condition, maintenance records, package boundaries, transport constraints and availability. Takamol does not publish undocumented figures for these items. Approved data is released to qualified parties through the confidentiality route, and independent technical verification by the buyer remains a precondition regardless.

Location, logistics and regulatory context

The asset is located in Jubail Industrial City on the Kingdom's east coast, an area administered by the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu under a regulatory framework built for heavy industry. The city provides utilities, power and water-treatment infrastructure, and access to King Fahd Industrial Port, which serves export routes and heavy equipment movement alike.

For foreign investors, inbound investment in the Kingdom is administered through the Ministry of Investment, with industrial routes available through the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources and the Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones. Takamol coordinates with qualified parties to identify the applicable route, while verification of the regulatory requirements that apply to a given case rests with the buyer's legal advisors.

Buyer qualification and process

To begin, Takamol needs: the name of the entity and its country, the capacity in which the enquirer acts, the commercial purpose (restart, relocation or investment), the target timeframe, and whether a transaction advisor has been appointed. This information is used to set the appropriate level of disclosure and to arrange inspection. It is not used for any other purpose.
