MANAMA: A new Yusuf Bin Ahmed Kanoo workshop for industrial valves has been officially opened in Jubail.
Saudi Kayan Contractor and Services manager Mulfi Salem Al Qahtani, YBA Kanoo Group chief executive Dr Patrick Chenel and industrial and energy executive general manager Fergus Burke attended the event.
The new workshop will assemble, maintain and repair valves, and will include services such as retrofit and upgrade of various industrial valves; replacing and reconditioning mechanical seals and rupture discs; and steam trap inspection/survey and replacement. The workshop is strategically located in Jubail, Saudi Arabia, close to many of its clients’ facilities.
“The opening of this facility is a major milestone in our transformation plan,” Mr Chenel said.
“It also reaffirms our commitment to the country through the Saudi Aramco value added programme, IKTVA, and helps develop a world of opportunity for young Saudis.”
The workshop is also an authorised service centre for Colfax pumps, BRDR Christensen plug valves, Faris safety relief valves and Groth pressure and vacuum relief valves.
“This is part of Kanoo industrial and energy strategy to expand its range of solutions to clients within the operations and maintenance phase of projects,” Mr Burke said.
