SUMEC TOUCH WORLD

• Aasia Steel: single source in Saudi Aramco, penetration in the local market, construction and start-up of facilities in KSA (buildings, offices, utilities).

• Allied Group: branding, technology (production of fittings, bends, welded/clad pipes), design of the layouts of the factories, equipment (technical specifics for all machineries ), quality system management.

Saudi Aramco (Saudi Arabian Oil Company) is the state-owned petroleum and natural gas company of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It is the largest and most profitable company in the world. In 2017 Saudi Aramco had launched the IKTVA (In Kingdom Total Value Added) program, aiming at developing a structure of local labour and sub-suppliers through 420 billion USD total investments in 5 years. In this context, buttweld fittings and clad pipes/fittings manufacturing are under consideration by Saudi Aramco for a localization within KSA, therefore this represents for Allied Group met attractive opportunity for establishing multiple facilities locally. During 2017 Allied Group met Rafid Group, one of the leading private multinational conglomerates in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) made up of more than 20 companies and affiliated businesses, providing products and services in the energy, utilities and infrastructure sectors.

Aasia Steel Co. Ltd. is part of Rafid Group, providing specialized services and products to local and international clients involved in the construction of the oil & gas, petrochemical, fertilizer, power,

desalination and infrastructure sectors.

Allied Group and Aasia Steel finally decided to form a new venture aimed at manufacturing locally some of the commodities most requested by the oil & gas industry in the KSA, in particular Saudi Aramco, such as buttweld fittings and clad fittings, hot induction large radius bends, welded pipes & clad pipes.

Features to which are added today maximum rigidity, vibration damping, zero-backlash, high accuracy and repeatability. Mandelli today designs and produces high-end horizontal machining centers; the SPARK HMC line, with numerous customizations that make this model a point of reference in the HMC world. It produces horizontal and multitasking machining centers which bring together top-level performances such as accuracy, power and speed to guarantee excellent dynamic and static performances as well as reliability over time.

 The HS HMC (High Speed) model, the latest from Mandelli’s designers, the small multitasking machine conceived for great performances. The RUMBLE HMC line, designed as a profiling machine for the aerospace sector, gives satisfactory results in many other sectors, for example in general mechanics. The first 5-axis horizontal profiler designed to machine hard materials, larger workpiece dimensions and complex profiles. Designed according to the Finite Element Method and originally conceived for the aerospace industry to meet the needs of one of the two major manufacturers of aircraft in the world, today RUMBLE is being developed for other sectors that require significant machine structures and characteristics.

 Indeed, Mandelli’s lines are used not only in aerospace, but also in oil & gas, power generation, mobility and in the above-mentioned general mechanics.
