ROLTA International, announced that it has been awarded a multi-million dollar contract from Sadara Chemical Company to implement a comprehensive engineering system at its complex, which will be the world’s largest petrochemical facility ever built in a single phase. The value of the contract has not been disclosed.

Rolta was selected for this challenging project based on its unique combination of world-class capabilities in engineering and IT. The project will be managed by a global Rolta team working out of the US, India and Saudi Arabia, and will be completed by late 2014.
