PetrolValves Inaugurates Saudi Manufacturing Facility

PetrolValves, a global leader in valve technology and solutions, has officially inaugurated its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Dammam, KSA. The inauguration ceremony was attended by Sandro Malquori, Chief Executive Officer of PetrolValves Group, alongside distinguished representatives from Saudi Aramco. The new facility, named PetrolValves Saudi Arabia, is set to become a cornerstone for the company’s expansion and localization efforts in the Kingdom.

Spanning over 11,450 square meters, PetrolValves Saudi Arabia, based in Dammam, is one of the largest valve manufacturing and servicing facilities in the Middle East. The facility has been approved by Saudi Aramco to produce API 6D and API 6A Ball and Gate valves, reflecting its capability to meet the highest industry standards.

The facility will play a pivotal role in increasing the Kingdom’s local manufacturing capabilities in the valve sector, while also enhancing the skills and expertise of the local workforce. In addition, the facility’s proximity to key customers in KSA will enable shorter lead times and provide fit-for-purpose valve solutions, driving operational efficiencies.

“Today marks a significant milestone for PetrolValves as we reinforce our commitment to delivering in-country value to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” said Sandro Malquori, CEO of PetrolValves Group. “This facility not only aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 but also represents our deep-rooted partnership with the Kingdom, which began over 60 years ago. I am proud to be a part of this journey as we continue to invest in the region’s growth and prosperity.”

Speaking on behalf of Saudi Aramco, Saud AI-Jaloud, VP Procurement of Saudi Aramco, commented: “The inauguration of the new PetrolValves Saudi Arabia is an important step in our ongoing efforts to collaborate with strategic partners for localization. By fostering the growth of the local valve manufacturing sector, we are proud to contribute to the Kingdom’s industrial and economic development. This milestone reflects the shared commitment between Saudi Aramco and PetrolValves to support the Kingdom’s vision for a more diversified and resilient economy.”
