Riyadh – Exclusive Sharikat Mubasher: Mohamed Shaheen, Cluster President / CEO of Schneider Electric Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Yemen, and Bahrain, told Sharikat Mubasher that industrial investments in Saudi Arabia have now exceeded SAR 1.5 trillion, reflecting strong momentum in modernizing production and expanding national industrial capabilities.

Speaking on the sidelines of the ‘Industrial Transformation Saudi Arabia 2025’ Exhibition, Shaheen added that the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources has significantly intensified efforts over the past four years to help factories transition into smart, data-driven operations, supported by national programs designed to boost automation and raise overall industrial efficiency.

Shaheen noted that the Exhibition offers a vital platform to strengthen partnerships with government entities, manufacturers, and industry leaders.

Over the past five years, Schneider Electric has invested more than $50 million in expanding production capabilities within the Kingdom, with eight new “Saudi Made” products introduced in 2025, bringing the total number of products manufactured locally to over 20.

With more than 44 years of presence in Saudi Arabia, Schneider Electric sees its participation as an opportunity to support the Kingdom’s digital transformation journey and enhance the industrial sector’s readiness for a more efficient, competitive, and sustainable future.
