"By leveraging custom-engineered sample systems and AI-enhanced analysers, Yokogawa ensures reliable performance, meeting the region's complex refining and petrochemical demands," Rohit Gupta, Vice President, Yokogawa Middle East and Africa tells OGN energy magazine in an exclusive interview.

The facility strengthens Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 through localisation, integrating advanced analyser engineering and fostering local talent via specialised training.

This reduces dependency on overseas supply chains while supporting In-Kingdom Total Value Add (IKTVA) and sustainable growth in non-oil sectors.

Below are excerpts from the interview:

What strategic advantages does Yokogawa's expanded analyser system integration facility at SPARK bring to your clients in the Middle East and Africa, particularly in terms of project lead times and localisation?

The expanded capacity of our analyser system integration facility at King Salman Energy Park (SPARK) allows us to execute multiple large-scale projects in parallel, significantly shortening project lead times, thus delivering a significant competitive advantage to our customers.

Moreover, the localisation of engineering, fabrication, testing, and assembly within the Kingdom ensures faster response times, reduced logistics dependencies, and the creation of job opportunities within the Kingdom. This contributes to In-Kingdom Total Value Add (IKTVA), directly supporting the country's Vision 2030 and enhancing client confidence in our ability to meet demanding schedules.

This expansion also adds to our overseas business in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region, resulting in increased exports in line with the vision.
