Emerson Climate Technologies, a business segment of Emerson, on Wednesday opened a new manufacturing facility in Dammam, Saudi Arabia.
The new facility is located at the Second Industrial Zone of the Saudi Industrial Property Authority “MODON” in Dammam and spans approximately 3,000 m2.
Emerson said that the new centre is fully equipped to produce and assemble various refrigeration condensing units specifically for the Saudi Arabian market, and added that additional products and services beyond condensing units can also be accommodated within the facility.
Robert T. Sharp, executive vice president, Emerson Business Leader, Emerson Climate Technologies, inaugurated the new facility with a ribbon cutting ceremony in Dammam.
“The Middle East & Africa is a key geographical region for Emerson Climate Technologies” said Sharp. “And a regional focus is an important part of our strategy. This is our second manufacturing facility in the region, and we are confident it will help deliver value for our customers in KSA.”
Emerson started assembling condensing units in Dubai in 2003 and since then “customer demand has continually been on the rise”, the company said in a statement.
To sustain growth, particularly in Saudi Arabia, Emerson decided to expand its production and invest in a new facility in the Kingdom, the statement added.
“Emerson Climate Technologies is committed to improving customer service in the region. Having a local presence, fostering shorter lead times to customers, and improving customer service levels will truly help deliver the most value for our customers in the Kingdom,” said K. Jayakumar, vice president, general manager Saudi Arabia.
