Known for delivering both bulk and containerized shipments, Aljabal’s dedication to precision logistics, quality assurance, and on-time exports ensures it remains a top choice for governments and private contractors alike. This shipment marks a new chapter in the growing trade relationship between Aljabal Holding and Southeast Asia.
Southeast Asia, especially countries like Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia, is experiencing a boom in infrastructure development. With new highways, ports, and airports being constructed across the region, the demand for high-grade paving materials like Bitumen 60/70 is soaring.
Aljabal Holding has stepped up to meet this demand with consistent supply chains, tailored shipping models, and products that meet the unique climate and durability needs of the region. The successful loading and dispatch of these 5 containers exemplify the company’s agility in supporting emerging economies through dependable product delivery.
Bitumen 60/70 is a penetration-grade bitumen widely used in road construction. The number “60/70” refers to the penetration value, which measures the hardness or consistency of the bitumen. This grade is ideal for medium climate zones, where it offers the perfect balance of:
