Emerson is expanding its presence in Saudi Arabia with the development of a new manufacturing hub at the King Salman Energy Park (SPARK), which is being built by Saudi AMANA
The new facility is one of the largest investments for Emerson in the Middle East and Africa, and will 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, aligning with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 strategy.
Emerson selected Saudi AMANA for its customised design-build and turnkey services and its commitment to sustainability, innovation and digitalisation. 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. It will house the company’s manufacturing capabilities in Saudi Arabia under one roof, producing and assembling 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.
“The appointment of Saudi AMANA is a significant step toward the realisation of Emerson's vision in Saudi Arabia,” said Hussein Zein, vice president, Emerson Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. “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.”
“In undertaking the Emerson Spark Project, Saudi AMANA has embraced innovation and quality as our guiding principles and epitomises our commitment to delivering certainty, quality and reliability to our clients,” said Group AMANA chief executive officer Jihad Bsaibes.
