BEIRUT (Zawya Dow Jones)--Saudi Arabia's Tabuk Cement Co. (3090.SA), or TCC, has signed a deal to set up a new cement mill that will boost its daily production capacity by 75% to about 9,000 tons of cement, Saudi-based Al Riyadh daily reports Thursday.

The move aims to enable TCC to cope with giant projects that are being implemented and will be carried out in the Tabuk region, Issa Ba Issa, the company's general manager, said according to the paper. The project will also allow the company to produce other kinds of cement such as multi-purpose cement, he added.
