Saudi Aramco has selected US manufacturing conglomerate ITT Corporation as a seven-year strategic partner.
Under the agreement, which comes into effect immediately, ITT and its partner Aswad Group will provide products — including pumps, well-head connectors, predictive condition monitoring systems and advanced pump controls — and services through it’s local manufacturing and service operation, located in Dammam Second Industrial City.
ITT Saudi will provide professional expertise to support start up and commissioning of all types of pumping systems. ITT Saudi will also provide expert aftermarket services to support Aramco’s operations.
The agreement also covers several strategic initiatives, including a program whereby ITT will support the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Saudization efforts.
“This agreement and our partnership with Saudi Aramco is a significant milestone in our oil and gas sector growth plans,” said Robert Pagano Jr., president of ITT’s Industrial Process business. “The oil and gas industry is now the largest segment of our Industrial Process business, and we are proud to bring our highly customized solutions and applied engineering expertise to customers in this growing global market.”
