Dammam Third Industrial City to Host Welspun Corp’s New Pipe Manufacturing Facility
Dammam Third Industrial City is set to become a key hub for pipeline manufacturing as Welspun Corp. Ltd. partners with Saudi Aramco to establish a Longitudinal Submerged Arc Welded (LSAW) line pipe facility. The plant will have an annual production capacity of 350,000 MT and is expected to begin operations by mid-2026.
Welspun Corp., a long-term partner of Saudi Aramco for nearly two decades, plays a crucial role in the Kingdom’s oil and gas pipeline projects. The new facility will be fully equipped to support Saudi Aramco’s expanding needs, including pipelines for oil, gas, hydrogen, and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) projects. This development strengthens Dammam Third Industrial City’s position as a growing center for industrial and energy infrastructure in Saudi Arabia.
