Emerson has launched a manufacturing facility in Jubail, further diversifying its local manufacturing portfolio in Saudi Arabia and strengthening its local presence in the MENA region
The facility produces solenoid valves, filter regulators and control cabinets and will enable faster, more efficient service to customers in the Kingdom and nearby countries across the Middle East and Africa region.
"This new facility in Jubail is the product of Emerson’s commitment to bring our businesses closer to our customers,” said Liam Hurley, vice-president and general manager of Emerson in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. “We continually align our capabilities to the needs of our customers. In this region, it has meant migrating some of our capabilities from Dubai to Saudi Arabia to improve efficiency not just in production, but also in logistics and delivery costs to provide better service and value to our customers and partners.”
Emerson’s latest investment in Jubail also highlights the company’s support and alignment with regional localisation initiatives such as the IKTVA programme and Saudi Vision 2030.
“We place high importance on increasing business opportunities in the communities we operate in, as well as in developing local talent as we enable diversity throughout our organisation,” said Sergio Caligara, vice president of Emerson’s discrete and industrial business in Middle East & Africa.
The Jubail facility adds to Emerson’s manufacturing capabilities in the western Middle East region, with existing facilities and plants in Dammam, Al Khobar and Dhahran Techno Valley.
