Siemens opens Bahrain service centre
Manama: Mon, 17 Oct 2011

Siemens today (October 17) officially opened its centre for metallurgical services in Bahrain to facilitate the Middle East’s steel and aluminum industry.

The centre, based at Bahrain International Investment Park at Salman International City, will help to reduce downtime of machines for maintenance and repair, the company said.

The Middle East Service Centre for Metallurgical Services will handle manufacturing and repair of parts for example, cooling panels for steel-making furnaces, guides for rolling mills, gear boxes, etc. and will ensure an increase in component lifetime and reduction in costly and time consuming import of spare parts from Europe and South Asia, it said.

The facility was inaugurated by Bahrain’s Industry and Commerce Minister Dr Hassan Fakhro, who commended Siemens for investing in Bahrain, its people and its economy.

“From our base in Bahrain, Siemens is in a position to serve our partners faster, more economically and efficiently. By and large the market needs a workshop of this type in the region. The centre is close to a large customer base in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia and being located at Bahrain International Investment Park at Salman International City it offers an attractive location with easy access by air and sea ports nearby,” explained Marek Szymanek, CEO of Siemens in Bahrain.
