Siemens highlights key milestones in KSA

The Saudi National Day reception in Berlin, hosted by the Royal Embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, saw Siemens showcasing its energy technologies and solutions for Saudi Arabia.
The event provided an ideal opportunity to highlight the company’s milestones within the Kingdom. 
Looking back at a history of over 85 years in the Kingdom, and as the only exhibitor at the evening reception, Siemens informed Saudi Ambassador to Germany Awwad Alawwad and the guests about its expanding local footprint and initiatives that confirm the strong partnership with the Kingdom and its society.
Alawwad welcomed the dignitaries to the 86th Saudi National Day reception and highlighted the 80-year collaboration with Saudi Arabia and German companies in Saudi Arabia. He underlined Siemens’ first Made in KSA gas turbine as a key milestone in the strong partnership with the Kingdom and in line with Saudi Vision 2030. 
The first Made in KSA gas turbine was recently built at the Siemens Dammam Energy Hub (SDEH), a milestone that resonates with the spirit of celebrating the Saudi National Day, fully in line with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.
The first shipment of the locally produced turbines left the factory in Dammam and traveled more than 1,500 km to the Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle power plant in Jazan. 
Together with its long-term partners, E.A. Juffali & Bros., Siemens is jointly developing and strengthening local supply chains, especially within the scope of its manufacturing and service operations.
Arja Talakar, CEO of Siemens Saudi Arabia, said: “We congratulate the Kingdom on this special day and are proud to celebrate with our partners and friends. Siemens has been at home in the Kingdom for over 85 years and the announcement of Saudi Vision 2030 drives our passion toward developing local capabilities and achieving sustainable local value-add in a diversified economy.”
