10 Successful Joint Ventures Examples (International and Domestic)

10. The Saudi Butanol Company (SABUCO)

Here is an example of a domestic JV from the Middle East. Saudi Butanol Company (SABUCO) was established in May 2013 as a mixed limited liability company between SAAC (Saudi Arabian Amiantit Company), Saudi Kayan Co. and Sadara Chemicals Co. Each of them had an equal part of 33.3% of ownership, and the capital of SABUCO is around 130 million dollars. Basically, the company was founded to manage and operate the n-Butanol plant and to distribute it evenly among the partners. So what is the big deal here? Well, just that it is the world’s largest butanol plant, as said by Mubasher. The profit is probably as such, but it is kept secret. Knowing the starting capital and that building the plant cost around $533 million, we can only imagine the revenues.
