Capabilities & facility

The Processes, People and Quality Systems Behind Every Component.

Our Jubail operation brings together white metal bearing manufacture and refurbishment, precision machining, fabrication, cutting-tool manufacture and regrinding, reverse engineering, inspection and industrial engineering support.

Under one roofMachining, casting, grinding and inspection in one operation.

Introduction

Critical stages controlled from Jubail.

Shaheen Arabia controls the critical stages of its core manufacturing and refurbishment work from Jubail. Where a customer requirement calls for a complementary process outside the installed Jubail capability, the job can be coordinated through Falcon Group or an approved specialist partner. This model protects technical accountability while allowing customers to address a wider scope through one engineering relationship.

Core capabilities

Five disciplines, one operation.

White Metal Bearings & Rotating Equipment Components

centrifugal, static and GTA application of Babbitt; bearing manufacture and refurbishment; lapping; ultrasonic bond testing; dimensional inspection; seals, deflectors, pads and associated components.

Precision Machining & Fabrication

CNC and conventional machining, boring, drilling, gun and BTA deep-hole drilling, custom fabrication, specialised welding and reverse engineering.

Cutting Tools & Tooling Solutions

design, manufacture, modification, regrinding and refurbishment of carbide, brazed and application-specific cutting tools.

Industrial Automation & Engineering Solutions

control-system engineering, PLC and LV panels, monitoring, IIoT analytics, robotics, migration, lifecycle support and turnkey automation.

Inspection & Reverse Engineering

goods-inward inspection, dimensional and visual checks, ultrasonic and other NDT methods where required, drawing development and reproduction of obsolete or unavailable parts.
