US-based Fluid Components International (FCI) has joined hands with Saudi Arabia’s GAS Arabian Services (GAS) to establish a joint venture – Fluid Components Saudi Arabia, aimed at improving quality of service and support.

FCI is a global manufacturer of gas flow meters, gas and liquid flow switches and liquid level switches for application in industrial processes and plants.

FCI’s new joint venture in Saudi Arabia offers high quality service and support for all local and regional users of FCI instrumentation, said a statement from the company.

The facility provides immediate access to FCI engineering and technical support, local spare parts inventory and supply, repair and re-calibration services, factory certified field service personnel, client product and service training, site dispatching and on-site installation and start-up assistance, it said.

In addition to employing local Saudi staff highly experienced in process instrumentation, measurement and control, the facility will accommodate expansion to add flow stands with internationally traceable reference equipment for local calibration services, it added.

Dan McQueen, president of FCI, said: “This new operation provides localised, full-service capability to all of FCI’s customers in Saudi Arabia and throughout the Middle East.”

“Our goal is to offer world class service and product support to our growing installed customer base in the region,” he added.

Faisal Al Sunaid, general manager, GAS, said: “Our new partnership with FCI will provide enhanced flow instrumentation capabilities and the highest level of customer care to our customers in Saudi Arabia and throughout the Middle East.”

“Our team is well trained and offers expertise in a wide range of application engineering and service support for diverse industries,” he said.

FCI’s award winning products are requested by name in many of the world’s most demanding environments for flow, level and temperature instrumentation. The company manufactures standard off-the-shelf and custom-engineered instruments, sensors and assemblies. Its products are recognised for their accuracy, repeatability and reliability in harsh operating conditions. They are easy to install, require virtually no maintenance, offer long-life and low life-cycle costs, it stated. – TradeArabia News Service
