Whether supporting a new quarry development or managing an established operation, AGC offers fully integrated management solutions tailored to the specific needs and objectives of each client.
AGC can provide experienced technical and operational personnel to support your project requirements — whether for temporary assignments, long-term contracts, or critical vacancy coverage. Our workforce includes qualified professionals across a wide range of disciplines and experience levels:
At AGC, we believe that successful quarry management requires a balance of technical excellence, operational efficiency, and strong leadership. Our team works closely with clients to develop and implement strategies that improve productivity, maximize resource recovery, and ensure safe working environments.
Through our commitment to quality, innovation, and continuous improvement, AGC delivers quarry management solutions that help clients achieve their production goals while building sustainable and profitable operations for the future.
Track-mounted plants deployed directly to site, fixed installations engineered for sustained throughput. Both configurations produce graded aggregates and processed minerals to your offtake's gradation and quality spec.
Our crushing and screening plants — both fixed installations and mobile units — turn run-of-mine material into graded aggregates and processed mineral products that meet the gradation and quality your offtake demands.
Product testing for gradation, moisture and conformance closes the loop, so what leaves the plant matches what was promised.
AGC delivers reliable and efficient crushing and screening solutions for mining, quarrying, cement plants, gold processing facilities, and other extractive industries across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Middle East. We have the expertise, equipment, and operational capability to process a wide range of materials — including limestone, dolomite, phosphate, granite, basalt and other industrial minerals.
Our comprehensive fleet is designed to support primary, secondary, tertiary, and fine crushing applications — ensuring optimal material sizing and consistent production for mining, quarrying, and recycling operations. We combine advanced equipment with experienced personnel to maximize productivity, minimize downtime, and deliver high-quality output.
AGC operates a diverse range of crushers and screens covering every stage of the process — from primary breakage to final classification.
Flexible plants configured to project requirements — varying feed materials, production capacities, and final product specifications. Each setup is engineered to the offtake spec, not the other way around.
Whether you need short-term contract crushing, long-term production support, or a complete turnkey processing solution, AGC has the resources and technical expertise to deliver safe, efficient, and cost-effective services at any location across Saudi Arabia.
At AGC, safety, reliability, and operational excellence are at the core of everything we do. Our field-proven crushing and screening solutions are engineered to deliver consistent performance, maximize equipment availability, and provide long-term value for our clients.
With our commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction, we help transform raw materials into valuable products while supporting the success of every mining and quarrying project.
