Saudi Arabia

DAMMAM, October 12, 2023 – Saudi manufacturer GulfTek has inaugurated a state-of-the-art 23,000-square-metre manufacturing facility in Dammam, marking a step forward in the country’s production of instrumentation, the company announced on Thursday.

The facility, built under the In-Kingdom Total Value Add programme, will by next year house an operational forging mill.

The company now boasts around 45,000 square metres of production area in Saudi Arabia and anticipates a further USD 30 million in investment under its five-year plan.

“Our strategy is to bring the latest technology to the Middle East and manufacture world-class products locally,” managing director Vikas Handa told The Energy Year earlier this year.
