Manufacturing

Inside the factory.

Two factories on one site in Dammam, 18,000 m² of manufacturing area, and a production line that takes sheet steel and copper to finished, tested and packed panels.

Factory #1

1977

Factory #1 established in the First Industrial City, Dammam, under the Ministry of Industry and Electricity.

Factory #2

18,000 m²

Factory #2 added the latest equipment and automation. Computerised sheet-metal processes replaced manual fabrication, and automatic painting and plating facilities were installed, increasing production capacity.

Step 01 / 10

Sheet-metal fabrication

Steel sheets are sheared up to 6 mm thickness and notched on Amada machines.

Step 02 / 10

CNC punching & cutting

Amada NCT punching, embossing, circle and slot cutting; SEYI and Cincinnati power presses.

Step 03 / 10

Press-brake bending

Gasparini press brakes of 120, 160 and 200 tons form enclosures to the approved shop drawings.

Step 04 / 10

Busbar processing

Novopress, Amada and ironworker machines cut, punch and bend copper busbars.

Step 05 / 10

Welding

MIG, TIG, arc and spot welding by Miller, CIFES and British Federal sets.

Step 06 / 10

Pretreatment & powder coating

Eisenmann automatic pretreatment and electrostatic powder-coating plant with baking oven.

Step 07 / 10

Surface treatment & plating

Buffoli Impianti plant for tin, zinc and silver plating of busbars and parts.

Step 08 / 10

Assembly & wiring

Components mounted, wired and labelled to the approved drawings.

Step 09 / 10

Quality control & testing

QC inspection after fabrication and after welding; failures are rectified before release.

Step 10 / 10

Final packaging

Panels are cleaned, packed with appropriate material and stored ready for delivery.
