Company News and Press Releases

The Local Content and Governmental Procurement Authority has signed a cooperation agreement with Zamil Air Conditioners and Home Appliances Co. to develop and increase local content in the manufacturing sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in order to reach the highest potential and enhance domestic spending in line with the strategic goals of the two parties.

The agreement was signed between the CEO of the Local Content and Governmental Procurement Authority, Mr. Abdulrahman bin Abdullah Al-Samari, and the CEO of Zamil Industrial Investment Co., Abdulla Mohammed Al Zamil.

According to the agreement, the authority will work on developing a comprehensive strategy and program for developing local content that includes proposed amendments to Zamil Air Conditioners’ procurement regulations and systems. The authority will also prepare a framework for improving manufacturers and suppliers that deal with the company, standardizing the methodologies and measuring mechanisms of local content, and defining the baseline of local content and its future objectives in the company.

In addition, Zamil Air Conditioners will define and identify investment opportunities to develop local content in the materials and goods produced by the company, as well as its services, which the authority can take advantage of to increase the percentage of local content in each of them. Additionally, the company will not only share previous procurement data and expected future needs for related materials and services with the authority, but also share the best practices and experiences of the two parties. These steps will enhance the local content, in addition to the studies related to raising its percentage, including the experiences that support localization opportunities and the transfer of technologies and skills.

On this occasion, Abdulrahman bin Abdullah Al-Samari stated that the signing of the agreement is a continuation of the authority’s efforts to develop local content in various sectors, including the manufacturing sector, which is considered a main pillar for the sustainability of economic growth. The manufacturing sector’s contribution to the Kingdom’s non-oil GDP reached about 7.5% in 2018, while the share of other manufacturing industries (other than oil refining) reached about 70% of the GDP of the industrial sector.

He added that these figures reflect the importance and dynamism of the manufacturing sector in the Kingdom, especially its contribution to diversifying the local industrial base. Moreover, they showcase the promising opportunities of this sector to enhance local content through the participation of Saudi elements in the workforce, goods, services, productive and technical assets, and the like, thereby enhancing domestic spending on these elements.

Abdulla Al Zamil indicated that this agreement is a continuation of the efforts undertaken by Zamil company at various levels to support the nation by enhancing local content and increasing the percentage of Saudization to achieve the objectives of the Kingdom’s 2030 vision. The agreement also comes within the framework of the authority’s initiative to increase the elements of local content in various industries, including the manufacturing sectors in the Kingdom, in a manner that leads to strengthening the role of the private sector in developing local content and contributing more effectively to achieving the development goals of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, especially in terms of creating job opportunities and diversifying the national economy.

It is worth noting that this agreement is part of a series of cooperation agreements in various sectors, signed by the Local Content and Governmental Procurement Authority with several organizations from the public and private sectors in order to develop local content and increase its share in the contracts and purchases of government sectors.

The COVID-19 pandemic has gripped the world, with the focus now having turned to preventing its spread. People around the world have been urged to avoid crowded areas and to stay home, to minimize the effect of the virus.

The circulated air inside homes and other indoor areas can contribute to the spread of microbes, such as bacteria and viruses. This highlights the role that heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems can play in preventing the transmission of COVID-19 and other airborne diseases.

The government is making a considerable effort to protect people and to control the spread of this virus. Zamil Air Conditioners is making its own contribution through its dependable Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) solutions for hygienic applications.

In hospitals and medical facilities, for example, good air quality is vital, to protect the staff and patients and their visitors from airborne diseases and infections, and to provide a healthy environment. Infections acquired in hospitals due to airborne transmission can be eliminated or prevented by installing a proper infection control system, a suitable air movement system, and the most appropriate purification and filtration systems.

Zamil Air Conditioners’ products and applications are designed to greatly improve the IAQ in any facility, by recirculating and cleaning air, removing viruses, bacteria and dust from circulation, and removing chemical contaminants.

Zamil Air Conditioners’ hygienic air handling units (AHUs) offer all the necessary selections, features, and controls for operation at the highest efficiency and performance. They control air cooling, heating, humidification, and filtration, air distribution, outside air supply, diffusion, dehumidification, and more. They conform to the strict hygiene requirements, based on international standards such as VDI 6022 Part 1 and DIN-1946 Part 4, in addition to mechanical and performance standards EN1886 and EN13053. They have been developed expressly to suit diverse hygienic applications—not only in hospitals and healthcare centers, but also pharmaceutical manufacturing plants, laboratories, food preparation facilities, and other places where clean air is essential.

Contact Zamil Air Conditioners for more information on integrated or independent air purification systems, filtration systems offering up to 99.995% purity, gaseous and chemical filtration systems, UV light purification systems for bacteria and viruses, and AHU energy recovery solutions suitable for hygienic applications.
Due to the precautionary and preventive measures taken by the competent authorities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to combat the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), Zamil Industrial Investment Company hereby announces that all factories are operating at significantly reduced and intermittent shifts, while others are completely shut down due to government restrictions in some countries we operate in.

In view of the inability to determine or know the duration of these precautionary and preventive measures, it is hard to determine the resultant financial impact at the present time. The company will announce any significant developments in time.

As for the government’s decisions regarding its support of the private sector to limit the effects of the precautionary measures to control this pandemic, the company values these decisions and works with the relevant authorities to follow the developments in this regard. Any substantial developments or financial impacts, if any, will be announced in due course.
