Immensa launches $15mln advanced manufacturing facility in Saudi Arabia

Vice Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources inaugurates Dammam facility, launched in line with National Industrial Strategy. New facility houses region’s largest additive manufacturing equipment and will help transform Saudi’s local manufacturing base. Dammam-Saudi Arabia: Immensa, MENA’s leading additive manufacturing and digital warehousing company, inaugurated a new facility in Saudi Arabia as part of its ambitious regional expansion plans. His Excellency Eng. Osama bin Abdulaziz Al-Zamil, Saudi Arabia’s Vice Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources, inaugurated the 1,500 square metre facility in Dammam, which is the result of a $15 million investment. The facility is the first private sector industrial grade additive manufacturing centre in the Kingdom and will be a key enabler in the shift of the local manufacturing base from traditionally low value product production using conventional manufacturing to high value production. Immensa’s new factory will enable high value parts for sectors such as oil & gas, energy, and petrochemicals to be produced on demand and locally. This will play a part in creating more agile, reliable, sustainable supply chains – particularly within hard-to-abate sectors –while saving companies costs and time. In addition, the centre will service regional markets including Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain. Further, exposing Saudi engineers
