a global safety company providing industry-leading technologies for gas detection, hazard monitoring, and real-time air quality insights, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones (MODON) to support the localization and manufacturing of portable gas detection technologies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The MoU was signed at MODON’s headquarters in Riyadh by Industrial Scientific President Andreas Schmid and MODON CEO Eng. Majed Al-Argoubi through Industrial Scientific’s Saudi entity, TGA Industries Saudi Arabia Ltd.

The agreement represents an important step in Industrial Scientific’s long-term commitment to Saudi Arabia, with a focus on localizing and manufacturing the company’s portable gas detection portfolio at its facility in Dammam 2nd Industrial City.

Beyond expanding local manufacturing, the collaboration aims to advance technology and knowledge transfer, develop local technical capabilities, increase local content, and strengthen the Kingdom’s capabilities in advanced safety technologies. These efforts align with Saudi Arabia’s broader industrial development and Vision 2030 objectives.

“Saudi Arabia is an important market for Industrial Scientific, and this agreement reflects our long-term commitment to the Kingdom,” says Andreas Schmid, president, Industrial Scientific. “By expanding our local manufacturing capabilities, we can work even more closely with our customers and partners while supporting knowledge transfer, technical development, and the continued advancement of industrial safety in the region.”

A greater local production footprint will also bring Industrial Scientific closer to customers and partners in Saudi Arabia, helping the company better understand local market needs and support organizations facing complex industrial safety challenges.
