The company will offer a comprehensive range of services, including utility management, energy management, waste management, maintenance, housekeeping, security and landscaping services.

FMTECH aims to drive sustainable growth and improve operational efficiency within the local facilities management sector, with a focus on driving cost-effective solutions and increasing the lifespan of properties within local real estate development projects in Saudi Arabia. It will also provide advisory services leveraging advanced, industry-leading innovation, including a unified digital platform that collects and utilizes facilities-related data.

The company will offer its services to the facilities of key industries that support the growth of the local economy, including health institutions, industrial facilities, entertainment destinations, aviation facilities, educational institutions, residential and shopping complexes, and business centers.

The establishment of FMTECH is in line with PIF’s strategy to unlock the capabilities of promising sectors to support economic diversification, improve sustainability, and localize technology and sector-specific knowledge in Saudi Arabia.

Since 2017, PIF has established many companies across 13 strategic sectors, such as the National Security Services Company (SAFE) to develop and grow the private security sector in Saudi Arabia, and the Saudi Investment Recycling Company (SIRC), which supports and operates PIF’s investments in domestic recycling sector projects.
