The CEO of the Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones (MODON), Eng. Majed Al-Argoubi, has revealed that the volume of industrial investments in textiles and fabrics within the scope of MODON exceeds SR4.1 billion.

These investments are distributed over 125 industrial contracts in 19 industrial cities, covering a total area of more than one million square meters.

Al-Argoubi's comments came on Monday at the inauguration of the second edition of the Men's Fabrics and Accessories Exhibition, which is sponsored by MODON and being held at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center for five days.

According to Al-Argoubi, the textiles and men's supplies sector is experiencing high growth in the Kingdom. Most of its raw materials are sourced from Saudi Arabia, making it an attractive sector for investments.

He added that the industrial sector in the Kingdom is going through remarkable developments, thanks to the support provided by the Saudi leadership to invest in value-added projects.

MODON has also prepared advanced infrastructure, supporting logistical services, and several ready-made products and innovative solutions in all regions across the Kingdom and different areas to build factories in various sectors.
