Unique Group Expands into Saudi Arabia

Integrated subsea and offshore solution provider Unique Group is making its first move into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with the opening of two new facilities in Riyadh and Dammam.

 

According to Unique Group , the move is being made in response to customer demand for products and support services to be provided locally. Ten engineering roles will be created throughout 2016, some of which will be filled by local people, in line with the Kingdom’s aspirations to increase opportunities for its indigenous workforce.

 

The teams will be led by sales manager Egon Oltmans, who brings experience from similar roles with companies such as Nortek SeaDarQ and Nortek Oceanografische Instrumentation in the Netherlands, and Trio DataCom in Melbourne.

 

The Riyadh office is already open, Dammam will follow in early 2016, and services provided will include those offered by Unique Group’s five divisions: Survey Equipment; Marine & Subsea; Buoyancy & Ballast; Diving Equipment; and On-site Engineering. These new bases will also open up further opportunities for Unique Group’s recently-acquired GSE Rentals, a rental specialist of Geophysical, Hydrographic and Oceanographic marine survey equipment.

 

Unique Group is headquartered in Sharjah, UAE and also has presence in Oman and Qatar.
