Dammam, Saudi Arabia, 9 January 2024

HIMA Group, global independent provider of safety-related automation solutions for
the process and rail industries, has solidified its presence in KSA with the establish-

ment of HIMA Saudi Arabia. Dedicated to advancing operational safety and reliability,

this strategic move aligns seamlessly with the ‘Vision 2030’ strategy and actively sup-
ports the Kingdom's localization programs in the industrial sector, championed by the

transformative Saudi Aramco IKTVA program.

With over a century of experience and more than 50 years of certified safety expertise,

the company established HIMA Saudi Arabia to provide the Kingdom with customized
solutions that can reduce risks, increase efficiency, and ensure compliance with indus-

try standards.

The inauguration event was attended by influential figures from Saudi Arabia's indus-

trial landscape, esteemed HIMA partners, and other customers. Notable attendees in-
cluded senior management officials from Saudi Aramco, the German-Saudi Arabian

Liaison Office for Economic Affairs (GESALO), and HIMA’s executive management.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony, led by the senior management teams from both Saudi

Aramco and HIMA, marked the official inauguration of HIMA Saudi Arabia.

Steffen Philipp, Managing Partner of HIMA, said: “HIMA celebrated the inaugura-

tion of our first facility in Saudi Arabia, marking a significant milestone in our global
leadership in safety-related automation solutions. With the most recent launch, we

have reiterated our commitment to the Kingdom and Vision 2030 strategy. Our mission
is to support regional goals, develop local talent, and aid in the development of a safer

future. HIMA Saudi Arabia will thus stand as a representation of our commitment to the
aspirations of the visionary people of Saudi Arabia."
