Construction of the new Saudi Specialised Pipes (SS Pipes) factory at King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC), Saudi Arabia, is complete and production trials will begin in January, revealed a senior official.
The SR50mn ($13.31mn) factory will use German technology and locally-sourced industrial raw materials.
SS Pipes, a business unit set up by Nabil Krimmley Establishment, is a manufacturing unit for polymer-reinforced concrete (PRC) pipes and allied PRC products. It operates under a technical collaboration with Metromax r PRC, Germany, a manufacturer of polymer concrete products in Europe.
The company produces pipes which range in size from 600mm to 2,200mm internal diameter.
