Where are you located?

Our operation, manufacturing, engineering and sales support are based in the First Industrial Support Area of Jubail Industrial City, Saudi Arabia.

Can you reline a bearing in Saudi Arabia instead of sending it abroad?

Yes. White metal bearings are relined by centrifugal casting, static casting or GTA application in Jubail, then machined, lapped and ultrasonically bond-tested before return.

Bearings & Rotating Equipment Components

What bearings do you manufacture and refurbish?

Journal or sleeve bearings, thrust bearings, combined journal-and-thrust bearings, tilting-pad journal bearings, pressure-dam bearings, thrust pads, journal pads and other approved white metal bearing types, plus relevant seals, deflectors and related components.

Do you overhaul complete turbines, pumps, compressors or motors?

What information do you need to scope an automation project?

A process description, control architecture, required data points and the operational objective for the system; the team confirms any additional technical requirements after initial review.

Do you provide ongoing support after commissioning?

Lifecycle and migration support can be arranged; scope and terms are confirmed per project.
