Unique Group, a global leader in subsea technologies and engineering, announced on Sunday the grand opening of its newly expanded facility in Dammam, Saudi Arabia.
The newly inaugurated facility, with an area of 2,000 square meters, is equipped to handle diverse equipment, including survey tools, unmanned surface vessels (USVs), diving and life support solutions, buoyancy, and water weights equipment, which are available for sale and rental.
It hosts Saudi Arabia’s largest dynamic winch test bed with a static pull capacity of 600 tons and a dynamic live load test capability of up to 40 tons.
The initiative aims to bolster the objectives of the “Made in Saudi Arabia” initiative, which is geared towards bringing the production and assembly of Unique Group’s distinctive subsea technologies and engineering to the local forefront.
It fosters job localization and positions Dammam as a pivotal hub for the industry.
Fifty percent of the manufacturing and assembly of air dive systems, power packs, and scuba replacement units will be completed in Saudi Arabia, resulting in a minimum of 40% local workforce utilization.
Unique Group boasts a two-decade-long collaboration with prominent governmental authorities, universities, and marine hydrographic survey organizations in Saudi Arabia.
The partnerships have been cultivated through the successful execution of large-scale projects, serving as the cornerstone for pioneering developments in the Red Sea region and NEOM.
