DESMI Signs MOU with Makeen to Localize Critical Flow Process Products in Saudi Arabia

DESMI and Saudi Engines Manufacturing Company (MAKEEN) have today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for MAKEEN to localize products, distribution, and after-sales service of DESMI’s solutions in Saudi Arabia. The agreement paves the way for DESMI to further embed its presence in the region, supporting the growing marine sector and expanding shipyard activities across the country.

Founded in 1834, DESMI has consistently evolved to develop flow technology products and solutions that optimize core processes within the maritime, aquaculture, defense, industrial, and utility sectors. Through this partnership, DESMI will ensure that its critical flow products are more accessible in Saudi Arabia, providing local industries with the same reliability, efficiency, and expert service that DESMI’s global customers rely on.

“This partnership with MAKEEN marks an important step for us as we look to bring our products closer to our customers in Saudi Arabia,” says Ricky Frampton, President of DESMI’s IMEA region. “By localizing our products and services here, we’re not just expanding our footprint – we’re ensuring that we’re in the best position to support our clients’ needs on the ground. It’s about being there for them when they need us most and strengthening those relationships as the market continues to grow.”

As Saudi Arabia’s maritime industry continues to expand, this collaboration ensures DESMI will be well-positioned to meet the growing demand for high-quality, localized pumping systems and solutions.

With this MOU, DESMI reaffirms its commitment to the region, ensuring that all its customers – from the maritime sector and general industries – benefit from its expanded capabilities and service network.
