“We shall assemble the pumps and turbines soon in Saudi Arabia to support the industry,” he said.
Mohamed Shafeeq said: “We are here in this industry serving for almost 12 years and it is our privilege to start spare parts manufacturing for turbo machinery equipment. There is also an upcoming plan to assemble pumps and turbines in Saudi Arabia to support the industry. SNM and SMH have already initiated a joint venture agreement for the Middle East office to support and provide services to the Middle East Region customers.”
He said SMH is discussing with some of the other manufacturers to start manufacturing in the Kingdom.
“We are here to facilitate them for local manufacturing and bringing more technology to support the industry and government vision. This will be our commitment to Royal Commission and the government.”

We plan to maintain 70% of Saudiazation which is another government vision by employing more Saudi nationals. They will be given advanced technical training and facilitating good work environment.”
