SBO inaugurates expanded facility in Saudi Arabia and celebrates 25 years
of local presence
SCHOELLER-BLECKMANN Oilfield Equipment AG (SBO), a global leader in
precision technology, has officially inaugurated its significantly
expanded facility in Saudi Arabia. The milestone event underlines SBO’s
long-term commitment to the region, where it has been operating for 25
years, and marks a key step in its strategic market expansion.
The newly inaugurated facility in Dammam doubles the size of SBO’s
existing operations and brings all Saudi-based offices under one roof.
This consolidation will improve collaboration, increase operational
efficiency and strengthen customer proximity in one of the company’s most
important regional markets. The step reflects SBO’s consistent execution
of its recalibrated strategy, specifically advancing the strategic market
expansion and driving growth through new partnerships.
A highlight of the inauguration ceremony was the presence of distinguished
local and international guests, including representatives from the Saudi
energy sector, the Austrian Embassy and key business stakeholders.
“This expansion reflects our commitment to the Saudi market and our
determination to make a meaningful contribution to Saudi Arabia’s
industrial transformation goals,” said Klaus Mader, CEO of SBO. “We are
proud to build on our 25-year history in Saudi Arabia by investing in
local partnerships, increasing our manufacturing capabilities for our
high-tech energy equipment and embedding sustainable operations.”
Local integration and technology leadership
The expanded facility will support the delivery of SBO’s market-leading
energy equipment portfolio – including downhole circulation technology,
high-performance drilling motors, rotary steerable systems and well
completion products – tailored to the unique needs of the Saudi market.
The new site with combined local capabilities will facilitate closer
collaboration with regional partners and strengthen SBO’s operational
agility.
Focus on sustainability and ESG excellence
SBO’s new facility also contributes to the company’s sustainability goals.
In line with Saudi Arabia’s green initiative, the site is equipped with a
solar power system that will reduce annual CO₂ emissions by approximately
450 tons, in support of SBO’s broader ESG commitments to reduce Scope 1
and 2 emissions by 30% until 2030.
