Siemens will establish a manufacturing and service facility in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. The manufacturing facility will include the local production of gas turbines and rotating equipment for the Saudi Arabian market. The facility will be a center of technological excellence and a job engine for the local market.
In fiscal 2011 (October 1, 2010 – September 30, 2011), Siemens’ sales to customers in Saudi Arabia amounted to EUR 954 million and new orders totaled more than EUR 1.67 billion. Siemens currently has about 1,922 employees in Saudi Arabia.
Siemens has been active in Saudi Arabia for over 75 years. From the very beginning, the company has contributed significantly to the development of the country’s infrastructure. One third of the power used in the Kingdom is transmitted and distributed by Siemens.
Siemens Fossil Power Generation has received an order to supply the components for the Ras Al Khair combined cycle power plant with an associated seawater desalination facility. Siemens will supply twelve gas turbines, ten heat-recovery steam generators, five steam turbines, and the associated auxiliary and ancillary systems. The order volume for Siemens is more than USD 1 billion, making it one the largest orders posted by Siemens Energy in the Middle East. Commercial operation is scheduled to commence early in 2014.
