US-BASED Wellbend Corporation, a world leader in carbon steel pipe fittings and flanges, is expanding its presence in the Middle East taking advantage of a tie-up with Mohammed Mosheal Al-Qarni Sons Company (MQS) of Saudi Arabia.
Recently MQS signed a major agreement with Weldbend highlighting the capability of the Saudi firm in supplying top-quality industrial products.
The agreement was signed by Weldbend representative Mohammed Daoud and MQS president Khalid Mohammed Al-Qarni in the presence of MQS vice-president Mosheal M Al-Qarni, MQS general manager Tariq Al-Qarni and MQS assistant general manager Bandar M Al-Qarni.The new business partnership has proved a success, says a spokesperson.
The two firms took part in the recent Oil and Gas show in Bahrain. “Such shows have a great impact on the economy as a large number of industries in the oil and gas sector take part and use the exhibition for pursuing business opportunities,” Daoud tells OGN.
Daoud, who is also the region’s representative for Core Pipe, the largest manufacturer of stainless steel pipes in the US, says: “We are looking forward to both Wellbend and Core Pipe to play a major role in the oil and gas industries of the GCC.”
MQS is celebrating 35 years of service in Saudi Arabia this year, as it continues to expand and diversify its portfolio of services.
Committed to providing quality services to customers, MQS has a proven track record of more than three decades, mainly in petro-based pipeline installation, maintenance, industrial, mechanical and civil works.
The company was founded by the late Mohammed M Al-Qarni in 1972, who had vast and versatile experience in industrial and pipeline installation, construction, maintenance and procurement.
Substantial growth over the years attests to the company’s success.
“There has been widespread interest in markets requiring MQS services,” he says.
“Companies engaged in mega-industrial projects are encouraged to directly contact MQS at Dammam, as we can now provide all pipe fittings, flanges, elbows, tees, bends etc in various diameters in both carbon steel and stainless steel.”
MQS has a vision to be a leader in the oil and gas pipeline sector and is constantly on the look-out for companies in this field worldwide which are keen to take on a local partner and benefit from Saudi Arabia’s booming oil and gas market.
MQS’ strength is reinforced by a large fleet of its equipment and vehicles which include cranes, boom trucks, loaders, backhoes, heavy trailers, flat beds, low beds, dump trucks, vacuum tankers, welding machines, fork lifts, compressors and sand blasting sets.
