Emerson Climate Technologies, a leading provider of heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration solutions for residential, industrial and commercial applications, has opened its new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Dammam, Saudi Arabia.

The event also celebrated the launch of Emerson Climate Technologies Arabia, said a statement from the company, a business segment of Emerson.

The new facility, located in the Second Industrial Zone of the Saudi Industrial Property Authority Modon in Dammam, is approximately 3,000 sq m and is fully equipped to produce and assemble various refrigeration condensing units specifically for the Saudi Arabian market, it added.  

Additional product lines and services beyond condensing units can be accommodated within the new manufacturing facility, it said.

Since 2003, when Emerson Climate Technologies started assembling condensing units in Dubai, UAE, customer demand has continually been on the rise. In order to sustain growth, particularly in Saudi Arabia, Emerson has decided to expand its production and invest in the new facility in the kingdom.

Robert (Bob) T Sharp, executive vice president, Emerson business leader, Emerson Climate Technologies, inaugurated the new facility with a ribbon cutting ceremony in Dammam.

He said: “The Middle East and Africa is a key geographical region for Emerson Climate Technologies, 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 the kingdom,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
