The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is experiencing significant development in various sectors, driving diversification and boosting non-oil revenues for the economy. As a key pillar of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, the mining sector has seen tremendous progress in recent years and is poised for further acceleration, driven by rapid growth in infrastructure and mining exploration projects. The challenges associated with this growth necessitate support services distinguished by high quality and reliability, particularly in the civil explosives industry, where standards are critical to the success of developmental projects. 

From this perspective, Modern Chemicals and Services (MCS), in collaboration with its strategic partner, EPC GROUPE of France—one of the world’s leading companies in providing civil explosives and related services—is committed to achieving excellence. We strive to provide high-quality and environmentally friendly products and services. Through this partnership, MCS aims to continue innovating with new technologies while maintaining stringent quality standards and practices that exceed customer expectations in civil explosives and mining services. 

We are proud to announce a training agreement with the Saudi Mining Polytechnic, initiating a technical education program for Saudi citizens. This initiative aligns with MCS’s Human Resources Development plans and is slated to commence factory operations training by 2024, supporting the company’s vision and contributing to the Saudi Arabia 2030 Vision. 

Modern Chemical & Services Company believes that it has an important role to play in serving the community by providing unique job opportunities for young Saudis who wish to acquire the new knowledge and skills needed to build a career in the mining and civil explosives production field. Through the continuous training provided to its employees, Modern Chemical Services Company will ensure the creation of a new generation of Saudis with technical skills that are better qualified to serve the ever-growing workforce needs of the mining industry. Hence, in our humble way, Modern Chemical Services Company is fully committed to contributing its share to achieving the lofty goals set forth in Vision 2030. 

I would like to extend my gratitude to our leadership, the government and security authorities within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for their support of this vital sector of the economy and for aiding our business endeavors.
