WIKA Group, a leading player in industrial measurement technology on a global scale, has inaugurated a cutting-edge manufacturing facility in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, solidifying its standing as a local manufacturer.
This state-of-the-art plant equips WIKA to serve customers across Saudi Arabia and the wider region more comprehensively. It will be the hub for manufacturing pressure, temperature, level, and flow measurement products, covering a sprawling area of 3,000 square meters.
The facility’s production portfolio encompasses essential components like diaphragm seals, instrumentation valves, and thermometer thermowells, vital for linking measuring instruments to critical processes. Additionally, there is a strong emphasis on integrating IIoT solutions to aid customers in digitizing their operations, with an expanded suite of services.
CEO Alexander Wiegand, speaking at the inauguration ceremony, highlighted WIKA’s commitment to local job creation, with plans to generate over 100 new positions in the coming years. The plant leverages German expertise and is manned by a qualified team well-versed in the nuances of the local market, ensuring the delivery of bespoke instrumentation solutions tailored to meet customer requirements.
WIKA views itself as a collaborative partner in Saudi Arabia’s economic progress, particularly in fostering the growth of emerging sectors alongside the traditional oil and gas industry. With a presence spanning more than two decades through sales subsidiaries, WIKA remains dedicated to contributing to the Kingdom’s economic development journey. At the inauguration, the German ambassador, Michael Kindsgrab, also recognised the WIKA Group’s investment in Dammam. It would further deepen the close relationship between Germany and Saudi Arabia.
