Fertilizer maker Sabic Agri-Nutrients has appointed Fahad Albattar (LinkedIn) as its new CEO, the company said in a disclosure to Tadawul last week. He is replacing Abdulrahman Ahmed Shamsaddin who has been tapped for a top executive position at parent company Sabic. Albattar will assume his new role on 1 April.
Albattar is no stranger to the company: Albattar brings over 25 years of experience in executive leadership with positions at Sabic and its subsidiaries since 1997. His most recent position was Chief Operations Officer at SABIC Agri Nutrients Company. He previously served as president of several of Sabic’s subsidiaries, including Al Sharqiyah Petrochemicals Company (Sharq), Al Jubail Fertilizer Company (Al Bayrouni), and Saudi Petrochemical Company (Sadaf).
REMEMBER- The Saudi chemicals manufacturer is riding the energy transition train: Sabic Agri-Nutrients shipped in June its first 5k metric ton load of low-carbon ammonia to Taiwan. The shipment in June followed another 5k ton load of low-carbon ammonia to India in May, an undisclosed quantity to Japan in April, and 25k tons of low-carbon blue ammonia to South Korea last November.
