Arab News Interview to the Founder of Al Sama Ink

The Man Behind This Company

The manufacture of inks is one of the most industries that use a large group of raw organic and inorganic and also need a lot of chemical compounds, which in general is a mixture of a certain strength and density according to the purpose to be used for it to come out bright colors as we like and see. The factory is the first of its kind in the Kingdom and started production in 1981. In an interview conducted by Riyadh with Mr. Khalid Bin Ali Al-Samah Al-Zahrani, General Manager of the factory, he mentioned that the ink industry is one of the complex chemical industries due to the large number of vehicles and elements and raw materials that enter the industry.
