Faccin Metal Forming Taking the Middle East By Storm

Saudi Arabia, spearheaded by its national oil company Saudi Aramco, has taken the ambitious strategic decision to involve more domestic companies in the development of the country’s infrastructure and as consequence, and important flow of investment in machinery and equipment is taking place. Aramco’s goal is to purchase 75 percent of all their material needs locally by 2021. Currently at 35 percent means they are going to slightly double their purchases from Saudi businesses in the next two years.

Following suit, a large Saudi organisation, one of the first companies Saudi Aramco has worked with, has decided to appoint Faccin to supply them with three 4-rolls plate rolling machines with capacities ranging from 75mm to 125mm plate thickness for their Storage Tank and Process Equipment business sectors. These three new rolling machines have been added to a medium sized plate rolling machine they acquired some time ago.

Furthermore, a Dubai state-owned company, primarily focused on the upstream oil and gas industry has approached Faccin with another order for a new plate rolling machine for its new manufacturing facility in Saudi Arabia. The investment was driven by the need to enhance the company’s IKTVA (in-Kingdom Total Value Added) and thus ordering a 4-rolls plate rolling machine, a solution that combines power, reliability and precision in an exclusive package.

A UAE based company specialising in oil and gas, petrochemical, power and water, marine and mining industries has also selected the 4-rolls plate rolling machine during expansion of their factory.

The company has successfully hundreds of plate rolling machines installed in the region from medium thick plates to over 300mm plate thickness, covering the needs of each manufacturer and demonstrating demonstrate a prompt service support.
