Metso has a strong local presence in the Middle East
Metso offers a comprehensive range of local capabilities in application engineering, project management, smart technology, and after-market and plant performance services. This has enabled Metso to steadily grow its presence in the Middle East, especially in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait. In addition to the region’s major markets, Metso is also well represented in other countries in the Middle East. Metso will open a new service center in Qatar in 2014 to further support end-users locally and in neighboring countries. Metso recently received another significant order in Saudi Arabia for its Neles® and Jamesbury® valves from Sadara Chemical Company (Sadara), a joint venture between Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Saudi Aramco) and The Dow Chemical Company. The valves will be supplied to a fully integrated chemicals complex currently under construction by Sadara in Al Jubail.
