Al Khobar-based Arabian Metals Company (Amco) says it is in a prime position to meet local demand for local manufacturing, engineering refurbishment and component manufacture for the oil and gas industry.

AMCO has 30 years' experience in oil and gas repair and manufacture, and as it is close to all major drilling contractors, deliveries are much shorter than having to source goods from outside the Kingdom, according to a company spokesman.

Amco has a wide range of conventional and CNC machine tools which enable it to produce high quality components which surpass international standards.

In today's competitive market, many companies put price before quality, leading to increasing breakdown and unnecessary lost revenue. Amco says it does not sacrifice the quality of its products to gain work, a fact that has been proven over the last two decades by its valued customers who repeatedly return to the company for their needs.

In addition to three decades of experience, AMCO has extensive knowledge of the local industries, environment, conditions and market, is next door to demand and has the ability to handle turnkey projects.

In addition, by being licensed to API, the company can offer valves and wellhead equipment in the Kingdom which are in accordance with the applicable specification, with lead times much shorter than international supplies.

Indeed, Amco's quality system has been developed to comply with ISO standard, and the company has been approved by both ISO and API.

Amco has expanded its facilities in Dammam, prompted by increased activity in the local oil and gas sector and demand for locally-manufactured spare parts.

Amco manufactures parts for a number of industries, including oil and gas, water desalination, petrochemicals and private industry. It has been an approved vendor to Saudi Aramco for more than 15 years, and is also an approved vendor for a number of Sabic companies.

The company carries a varied stock of raw material which is sourced from reputable steel mills. All of its work is fully guaranteed and each order is delivered with a full documentation package which can be tailored to meet client requirements.

The company has a highly-skilled, fully trained workforce, who operate well maintained machine tools. Its manufacturing history gives it the background and confidence to ensure that its customers' needs are fully satisfied.
