Al Abdulkarim Holding stand at the event

AKH promotes diverse portfolio

RIYADH, February 9, 2016

Al Abdulkarim Holding (AKH), Saudi Arabia’s leading supplier and stockist of electrical, electromechanical, communications, instrumentation and oilfield components, is promoting its diverse portfolio of products and services to the regional market at the Gulf Industry Fair 2016.

The Dammam-based company claims to be the biggest electrical supplier to Saudi Aramco, and counts among its 150-plus clients leading Saudi entities such as Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (Sabic) and Saudi Electricity Company (SEC).

Its subsidiary Naizak Global Engineering Systems provides specialised services to oil and gas, petrochemical, electrical, power and IT firms.

The group entered the manufacturing sector in 2009, with the establishment of the Industrial Systems Group (ISG), which has set up a number of production facilities in the kingdom. These specialise in explosion-proof electrical materials and industrial automation systems for oil and gas fields and energy facilities, process analytical systems for gases and liquids, test vans, environmental and emission monitoring systems and control cabinets. ISG also manufactures GRP/FRP (glass-reinforced plastic/fibreglass reinforced plastic) products; cable trays and ladder trays.

AKH is currently busy with several projects in Saudi Arabia. “For Kaust (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology) project in Thuwal, we have a SR1-billion ($267 million) order for laboratory equipment and lab information management software (LIMS),” said Abdullah Al Shahri, public relations manager.

The company is currently in the fifth year of supply to Kaust under a 10-year contract.

It is also supplying telecommunication systems for the King Abdullah Sports Stadium as well as the King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah.

In the hydrocarbons and petrochemicals sector, AKH has just started providing flanges for the Bahrain-Saudi pipeline project, and is supplying to the Wasit gas project (junction boxes, telecommunication systems, cables); Fadhili gas plant (telecommunication systems, electrical systems, piping, flanges and fittings); and Mastergas Phase Two.

Other projects include the supply of aluminium tank covers for Satorp under a €5.7-million ($6.37 million) order and for Jizan refinery under a €9.2-million ($10.3 million) deal.
