Alshebl said that the MoUs concluded with the three companies would contribute to strengthening the local content, supporting the national industry of water valves, and raising quality efficiency, following the company’s standards and procedures.
He added that the agreements came in line with the national water strategic directions, which give priority to national factories to meet the company’s needs, project components, and supply chains, in a way that benefits the national economy through local goods, assets, and technology.
