After having achieved consistent growth in sales, both in the domestic and export markets, Saudi Electric Industries Co (Seico) is looking forward to a period of expansion that will help it cater to the growing demands of the market as well as its growth in the coming years.

In a recent meeting with delegates from France, general manger Mazen Abu Jubara announced that the company has been achieving a sales growth of 10 per cent every year and that export sales had also increased remarkably.
“The company has great satisfaction in increasing its share in the Saudi market as well as in the targeted export markets of the GCC states, Algeria, Kazakhstan, and Georgia,” says Abu Jubara. “We intend to increase our growth by another 15 per cent in the coming year,” he adds.
Last year, the company achieved a major milestone through the opening of a copper/brass extrusion factory, in Jeddah having a capacity to extrude 2,000 tonnes of copper bus bar, tubes and solid brass per year. The company will open a new fabrication facility by early 2005 for a cable tray, ladder and support system at Dammam Industrial City, with a capacity to fabricate 1.5 Km of the materials per day.
“We are very optimistic about exploring new markets and achieving targets we have fixed for the coming year,” he adds.
Established in 1991, Seico has extensive experience in working with a majority of the sectors including oil, gas, power generation, petrochemical, water desalination and commercial complexes. Seico has been engaged in the supply and servicing of cable ladders, trays, supporting systems, glands, under-floor trunking, earthing materials, copper bus bars and hollow tubes.
Seico’s manufacturing plant located at Jeddah’s Industrial City Phase 5 has a steel/aluminium fabrication capacity of 3 km per day and is an integrated manufacturing unit that has deployed state-of-the-art technology to meet the requirements of NEMA, VDE, IEC and British Standards.
Sieco has its own hot dip-galvanising unit along with die making facilities that utilise advanced computerised numeric control (CNC) technology. With the introduction of a channel-forming machine, it has increased its widely used channel production five fold. The company’s full-fledged cable glands manufacturing facility has a capacity of 150,000 pieces per year along with the earthing material production capacity of 500,000 pieces per year, says a company spokesman. The company has been manufacturing a wide range of quality products under one umbrella through the supervision of a qualified engineering team.
“Sieco is an ISO 9001-certified company which has been working towards realising our motto of achieving the fullest customer satisfaction,” says the spokesman. “Through developing quality products and a commitment towards prompt delivery and efficient services, we have achieved the trust of prospective clients such as Saudi Aramco; Saudi Consolidated Electric Company (Sceco) (Eastern, Central and Western) now known as Saudi Electric Company (SEC); Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (Sabic); Petrokemya; Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC); Royal Commission of Yanbu and Jubail (all in Saudi Arabia); Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc), Abu Dhabi; Qatar Petroleum (QP), formerly known as Qatar General Petroleum Corporation (QGPC), Qatar; and Kuwait National Petroleum Corporation (KNPC), Kuwait.
“Apart from these, the company has established itself in the developing markets of Georgia, Azerbaijan, Jordan, and the African markets of Algeria and Sudan.
