Made in KSA

[The SC]

Can you provide a link for the production of the Ingwe ATGM? AFAIK it's a South African ATGM.

It is a JV you can look it up on the net..

South African defence equipment manufacturer Denel Dynamics has reportedly signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Saudi Arabian firm ITAEC Group to potentially manufacture anti-tank missiles in the country.

The MoU was reportedly signed at the Africa Aerospace and Defence tradeshow, held in South Africa, on 16 September, but only reported by South African news websiteDefenceweb on 26 September.

Under the MoU, the Ingwe anti-tank guided missile could be marketed and potentially manufactured in Saudi Arabia. A demonstration firing of the missile, mounted on a vehicle, reportedly took place earlier in 2016.

See all the unsure language there?

As such there is no official confirmation this is actually manufactured in Saudi. There isn't actually any confirmation that it will be manufactured in KSA. And that is a MoU, and MoUs are just pieces of paper that are easily reneged on.

My advice would be only to post confirmed "Made in KSA" items in this thread, otherwise I could put the Su-30 in the "Made in Iran" thread because Iranian and Russian defence officials have discussed local production of that aircraft.

Your advice is always welcome when it is well placed.. in this case you can refer to post # 102, first picture where you can see the Shibl2 Military vehicle made in KSA and the Ingwe on it and beside it with the same camo.. and also made in KSA in a JV with Denel of South Africa..

I don't have much reason to doubt the Shibl is made in KSA, but the Ingwe is a different case.

Denel and Saudi company ITEAC Group agree to jointly market Ingwe anti-tank missile to Saudi Arabia(armed forces)

Denel Dynamics and ITEAC Group, a Saudi company, recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to jointly market Denel’s Ingwe anti-tank missile to the Saudi armed forces.


According to defenceWeb, the MoU was signed on 16 September at the Africa Aerospace and Defence (AAD) air show and exhibition.


By partnering with , Denel Dynamics is hoping to demonstrate its enthusiasm towards Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 objective of sourcing over 50% of defence acquisitions domestically. Should a sale come to fruition, ITEAC Group will manufacture (at least partly) the Ingwe missiles in Saudi Arabia.

http://quwa.org/2016/09/26/denel-sa...-market-ingwe-anti-tank-missile-saudi-arabia/

So to have it integrated on the Saudi made Shibl-2 and expose it in an official military exposition means that the missile is being made in KSA or on the verge of being made there, anyhow it means clearly that it is ready.. and we do not know if there has been a Saudi order or not.. internal orders are not usually advertised.. So if there was an order or when there will be an order, it is clear that Ingwe is being made or will be made in KSA.. The Saudi site from where I got the picture said it was made in KSA already, which implies that an internal Saudi order was placed with the Saudi company ITEAC Group who partners with Denel Dynamics..

This would also be the South African defence industry’s second major sale to Saudi Arabia; in April 2016, a local munitions production site at al-Kharj built with the support of Rheinmetall Denel Munition (RDM) (which is 49% owned by Denel Group) .

Furthermore, even if it was an official source, all there has been is an MoU. No factories or production. You are, as the saying goes, "jumping the gun".

There is no "jumping the gun", everything is in place to start production, pending on an order by the Saudi military.. was there an order? who knows, internal orders are not advertised as international ones are, so go figure..

SSI Schaefer wins order for logistics centre in Saudi Arabia
ssi schaefer handling

31. August 2015
FLOW, Jeddah, one of the most dynamic third-party progressive logistics companies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has commissioned SSI Schaefer to construct a new logistics centre.

The ultra-modern e-commerce fulfilment centre is being constructed 100 km north of Jeddah in the King Abdullah Economic City, the kingdom's new trading centre. FLOW will run the new fully automatic system as a contract logistics supplier for the IKEA furniture distribution business. The general contractor order for SSI Schaefer includes a five-aisle high bay warehouse (HBW) with a total of 39,000 pallet storage locations for industrial pallets and 2 m long large IKEA pallets. Another five-aisle automated small-parts warehouse (Miniload) provides capacity for the handling of 66,000 bins. In addition, SSI Schaefer is also to supply and install the bin and pallet conveying systems and lifts required for material flow purposes. The WAMAS® logistics software from SSI Schaefer will provide optimum process control, transparent stock management and efficient order fulfilment. “The collaboration with SSI Schaefer – one of the world's leading intralogistics specialists – has strategic significance for us and our customers”, is how Saud Al Sulaiman, Managing Director Flow, explained the background to the placing of the order. “Besides extending our own national sales network, the new distribution centre will play a key role in our strategy of becoming the market leader for contract logistics and e-commerce fulfilment in Saudi Arabia. We have therefore entrusted the project to a strong and reliable partner.” The new distribution centre is expected to start operations by the end of 2016.

constructionweekonline

by James Morgan on Mar 16, 2017
Trane and Dallah Trading Company have signed a joint-venture (JV) manufacturing agreement relating to the production of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) products.

Under the terms of the deal, the two companies will develop a production facility in King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC), Saudi Arabia.

The Trane Dallah Manufacturing (TDM) plant will be used to manufacture customised and catalogue air-handling units (AHUs) and fan coils for HVAC customers in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region.

The project is due to be completed before the end of 2017.

Commenting on the JV agreement, Johan Samuelsson, Trane’s MEA vice president and general manager, said: “Our expanded relationship with Dallah will bring us closer to our customers, which increases our responsiveness, speed-to-market, and competitiveness.

“We expect the facility to be completed in late 2017, and are excited about the opportunities it brings for the future.”

Ayman M Kamel, chairman of Dallah Trading Company, added: “We are pleased to establish a manufacturing facility in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with our long-term partner, Trane.

Our customers will appreciate the benefit from Trane quality products made in the region. This is one step closer towards our goal of making Dallah Trading the first-choice distributor for HVAC solutions in KSA.”

Trane, an Ingersoll Rand brand, is a global provider of indoor-comfort products and services. Products manufactured at the TDM facility in KAEC will have applications in the commercial, residential, hospitality, healthcare, and industrial fields.

Dallah Trading Company forms part of Dallah Al-Baraka Holding Company (DBHC), a private multinational corporation based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

KAEC Industrial Valley Witnesses First Factory for Assembling Firefighting Apparatus in Arab World
eyeofriyadh
Wednesday 13 April, 2016
The Economic Cities Authority (ECA) participated in the opening of the new Rosenbauer Saudi Arabia factory, the first manufacturing facility specializing in assembling firefighting apparatus in the Arab world. The factory was built in the Industrial Valley in King Abdullah Economic City.

ECA was represented by Eng. Imad Hashem, Vice Secretary General for ECA affairs, as well as a number of ECA senior employees. Also attending the opening ceremony were officials from the General Directorate of Civil Defense, the General Authority of Civil Aviation and “Emaar, the Economic City”, the master developer of King Abdullah Economic City, as well as a number of other entities.
The Rosenbauer Saudi Arabia management team welcomed guests upon reaching the factory, where they provided an introductory presentation of the company and its factory, which is located in the first phase of the Industrial Valley on an area of 20,000 m2. The guests then took a tour of the factory where they learned about its various advanced facilities.

Eng. Hashem expressed his happiness at the opening of the facility in the Industrial Valley, expecting the new factory to contribute to meeting the demands of the local market and supporting the Kingdom’s exports to neighboring markets.
He stated, “We at the Economic Cities Authority were keen on overcoming all the difficulties and providing the needed support to continue building this factory, which will contribute to diversifying Saudi’s exports to the world in the field of rescue and firefighting vehicles. It will also provide job opportunities by enabling local companies to distribute spare parts and vehicle structures and provide quality job opportunities for Saudi youth.”

Eng. Hashem added, “King Abdullah Economic City has certainly become an attractive front for foreign investment with its extensive infrastructure and excellent investment environment.”

From his side, Eng. Andreas Zeller, Chairman and CEO of Rosenbauer Saudi Arabia, stated, “We managed to build this factory in record time – in around half the time needed to build it in Europe. This was done thanks to the massive support we received from the Economic Cities Authority since the beginning of the project. It is an honor to be part of this outstanding economic city development that will change the region’s infrastructure, and we would like to express our gratitude to ECA and its General Secretary, Mr. Mohanud Helal, for their assistance throughout all of the project’s phases, as well as joining us in celebrating the opening of the factory.”

Zeller added that Rosenbauer is the world’s largest sales and service organization in the fire truck industry, as it exports its products to 133 countries worldwide, with annual revenue of 784.4 million euros and a team of 2,941 employees.

He added that the company is also specialized in producing foam systems, fire hoses and polypropylene tanks. Zeller revealed that the new factory will offer a large variety of vehicles, due to the presence of another factory in Jeddah for the final stages of production, before assembly in the new factory, as per the highest international and globally approved standards of the company’s factory in Austria.

Saudi Aramco signs deals to build Gulf’s biggest shipyard

U.S. oilfield services and equipment provider McDermott International has said it will build a fabrication yard at the Ras Al Khair complex and move some of its operations gradually from Dubai to Ras Al Khair by the mid-2020s.

Saudi Aramco plans to build the Gulf’s largest shipyard through a joint venture with three companies that it announced on Wednesday, a $5.2 billion project aimed at helping reduce the economy’s reliance on oil.

Low oil prices have drastically slowed Saudi Arabia’s economy so it is trying to create manufacturing jobs and produce goods and services which traditionally it has imported. Its strategy is to use large amounts of government money and the procurement budgets of big state-run enterprises, such as national oil firm Aramco, to attract foreign expertise to develop strategic industries.

Aramco said it had signed a shareholder agreement with National Shipping Co of Saudi Arabia (Bahri), a state-controlled firm which ships oil for Aramco, London-listed United Arab Emirates engineering firm Lamprell Plc, and South Korea’s Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. The 4.3 square kilometre (1.7 square mile) shipyard will be located at Ras Al Khair on Saudi Arabia’s east coast. “The directors expect that the Maritime Yard will be the largest in the Arabian Gulf in terms of production capacity and scale,” Lamprell said in a statement.

Major production is expected to start in 2019 with the yard hitting full capacity by 2022. It will be able to work on four offshore rigs and over 40 vessels a year including three very large crude carriers (VLCCs), Aramco said. The government will cover about $3.5 billion of the total cost, with the remainder funded by the joint venture, said Lamprell, which will invest up to $140 million and own 20 percent of the venture. Aramco will own 50.1 percent, investing as much as $351 million.

Bahri will invest up to $139 million for a 19.9 percent stake and Hyundai up to $70 million for 10 percent. The government’s Saudi Industrial Development Fund has agreed to provide a debt facility worth about $1 billion. As part of the deal, Saudi Aramco’s parent firm will buy 20 jack-up drilling rigs as well as offshore support vessels and services from the joint venture, Lamprell said. Lamprell shares jumped 13 percent after the announcement. Bahri will buy at least 75 percent of its commercial vessel requirements over 10 years from the venture – a minimum of 52 commercial vessels including a “significant number” of VLCCs, Lamprell said.


U.S. oilfield services and equipment provider McDermott International has said it will build a fabrication yard at the Ras Al Khair complex and move some of its operations gradually from Dubai to Ras Al Khair by the mid-2020s.
