Jeddah plant · Operating since 1981
Message from the CEO
Every bottle that leaves Jeddah carries a promise — clarity you can see, strength you can trust.
Since our first furnace was lit in 1981, SAGCO has grown from a single line into the largest container-glass manufacturer in the Middle East. That growth was never the goal in itself; it is the result of doing the fundamentals properly, batch after batch, for partners who cannot afford surprises.
As we look to the decade ahead, our focus is on cleaner melt, deeper technical partnership with the brands we serve, and creating opportunities for Saudi talent to build long careers in advanced manufacturing.

SAGCO Packaging Standard

Sustainability
Packaging that protects the product — and the planet.
SAGCO is committed to sustainability because glass container packaging already does the hard work: it is inert, endlessly recyclable, and returns to the furnace as cullet that lowers energy and raw-material demand. Every bottle we ship can re-enter the cycle without losing purity.
- Endless recyclingGlass can be remelted indefinitely with no quality loss — a true closed loop.
- Lower furnace energyCullet melts cooler than virgin batch, cutting energy for every ton returned.
- Safe for contentsInert glass needs no liner or additive, so nothing migrates into food or drink.
