WIKA, a leading German company engaged in measurement solutions, has announced the opening of its new manufacturing and service centre in Dammam, Saudi Arabia.

The facility, which is one of its kind, will provide not only measurement solutions in pressure and temperature but also services such as diaphragm seal repair and calibration services, said the statement from the German group.

Following the founding of its first subsidiary in 1960, Wika presently has 43 global companies, all thanks to its ‘Think global, Act local’ strategy.

These include state-of-the-art production facilities in all central markets, maintenance facilities, installation equipment and teams for additional services. This new facility in Saudi Arabia is one more step in that direction, said the statement.

Tino Reppe, the general manager for Wika Middle East, said: “The new facility is our commitment to Saudi 2030 vision and will be our base in Saudi Arabia to serve our huge installed base in all sectors including oil and gas, petrochemical, power and water.”

Over the past 60 years Wika has built a reputation as a renowned partner and competent specialist for any task in the field of measurement technology.

On the basis of steadily growing efficiency, innovative technologies are applied when developing new products and system solutions, he stated.

“The reliability of the products and the readiness to face all challenges of the market have been the key factors for Wika to achieve a leading position in the global market,” he added.
