APS is expanding its manufacturing capacity to provide more products and respond to the demand of its clients, including Saudi Aramco. The company further plans to build electrical insulators and medium-voltage load break switches for the national utility company Saudi Electricity Company. To further contribute to the development of Saudi Arabia, APS looks to localise technologies and know-how as well as train the local workforce. To achieve its localisation goals, the company has partnered with recognised international manufacturers.
