The Public Investment Fund (PIF) announced on Thursday the establishment of the Saudi Facility Management Company (FMTEC).

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.

Saudi Arabia welcomed on Wednesday the ceasefire in Lebanon, hailing the international efforts that helped achieve it.

In a statement, the Foreign Ministry hoped the ceasefire would lead to the implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, preserve Lebanon’s sovereignty, security and stability, and ensure the safe return of the displaced to their homes.

The Muslim World League (MWL) welcomed the ceasefire, commending all efforts that contributed to ending the conflict and expressed its hope for continued security and stability for Lebanon and its people under its national sovereignty.

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation stressed the need for all parties to commit to the ceasefire agreement through the full implementation of Resolution 1701.

OIC Secretary General Hissein Brahim Taha underscored his full support for Lebanon’s stability and the right of its state to exercise its sovereignty across all Lebanese territories.

He called for humanitarian aid to meet the needs of those affected and for reconstructing what was destroyed in the war.

Moreover, he hoped that the ceasefire in Lebanon would pave the way for an immediate halt to the Israeli assault on Gaza and all occupied Palestinian territories.
