Emerson’s new facility to enhance supply chain localization in Saudi Arabia
Emerson has selected Saudi AMANA to develop a new manufacturing hub at the King Salman Energy Park (SPARK) in Saudi Arabia. The new facility is one of the largest investments for Emerson in the Middle East and Africa and will support the company’s expansion and strengthen its presence in the region.
It also demonstrates Emerson’s continued commitment to its customers and stakeholders in Saudi Arabia as the company prepares for rapid local manufacturing expansion in the region, a press communique revealed.
Emerson selected Saudi AMANA for its customized design-build and turnkey services and its commitment to sustainability, innovation and digitalization. The Emerson manufacturing hub will be developed in accordance with the environmental sustainability principles that support the company’s net zero emission goals, while also adhering to SPARK’s environmental sustainability standards.
Strategic investments
“The appointment of Saudi AMANA is a significant step toward the realization of Emerson’s vision in Saudi Arabia. Emerson’s journey in the kingdom has been marked by strategic investments and expansions in local manufacturing capabilities and we look forward to opening this new innovation and manufacturing hub,” stated Hussein Zein, Vice President, Emerson Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
The facility will house the company’s manufacturing capabilities in Saudi Arabia under one roof; it will produce and assemble a wide range of automation products, including measurement instrumentation, control valves, pressure relief valves, solenoid valves, and control and safety systems. The project broke ground in early January and is expected to be completed in late 2024.
“In undertaking the Emerson Spark Project, Saudi AMANA has embraced innovation and quality as our guiding principles and epitomizes our commitment to delivering certainty, quality and reliability to our clients,” commented Jihad Bsaibes, CEO, Group AMANA.
