In October 2025, Aljabal Holding successfully completed the sixth batch export shipment of 25×20 ft containers of Bitumen 60/70 to Sudan, further reinforcing its consistent commitment to high-quality petroleum product exports and enhancing infrastructural development across the African region. This large-scale shipment represents an ongoing supply partnership between Aljabal Holding and strategic stakeholders in Sudan’s road construction and infrastructure sectors.
Bitumen 60/70 is a penetration grade bitumen used extensively in asphalt paving and road construction. It exhibits excellent binding properties and is known for its medium hardness, making it ideal for hot climates such as Sudan’s. With penetration values between 60 to 70 dmm, this grade ensures durability and strong resistance to cracking and deformations due to heavy traffic loads or high temperatures.
The shipment comprised 25 containers, each measuring 20 feet, filled with high-grade Bitumen 60/70, conforming to international ASTM standards. The consignment was prepared at Aljabal Holding’s state-of-the-art bitumen processing facility, packaged using steel drums and jumbo bags, and shipped through strategic marine logistics channels optimized for East African delivery.
Aljabal Holding adheres to rigorous quality standards throughout its production and export process. The Bitumen 60/70 is tested, certified, and batch-controlled before packaging, ensuring each shipment complies with international norms such as ASTM D946 and AASHTO M20.
We employ third-party inspections from global authorities like SGS and Bureau Veritas to validate:
Sudan is undergoing substantial reconstruction and infrastructure development, especially in road networks and transport corridors. The demand for high-quality penetration-grade bitumen like 60/70 is increasing rapidly. As a trusted supplier, Aljabal Holding plays a crucial role in facilitating reliable and timely delivery of bitumen to support these infrastructure projects.
