Spain’s Ampo Poyam Valves announced the launch of its new valves manufacturing and servicing plant in Dammam Second Industrial City, Saudi Arabia in partnership with the kingdom’s Dar Massader Group.

The two companies have partnered to form a joint local subsidiary known as ‘Ampo Arabia’, the company said in a statement. Ampo Arabia, an extension of the main valve manufacturing plant in Spain, will follow similar structure, technical and operational capabilities, as well as rotating key staff to ensure consistency and product quality.  In addition, the local facility will positively impact local delivery lead times and after-sale services to meet demands of current and future projects, the statement added.

Salah Elkadiki, General Manager Ampo Arabia, said: “Fast, reliable and top-quality service at a global scale is one of Ampo Poyam Valves’ main success factors, and that is why it is considered as a world leader in highly engineered valves for the most severe applications and industries. By aiming to become a strategic partner and share the Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, we have decided to align our future to become part of the local industrial cluster.”
