Al Bidda Industries, Siemens sign MOU to expand cooperation

Al Bidda Industries and Services (ABIS) and Siemens in Qatar signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on Monday to expand their cooperation into the Syrian market and broaden the scope of their existing partnership to cover additional products within the Siemens portfolio.The agreement was signed by Sheikh Suhaim bin Abdulaziz al-Thani, chairman of Al Bidda Group, and Hakan Ozdemir, CEO of Siemens in Qatar, in the presence of German ambassador Oliver Owcza and Al Bidda Group deputy chairman Abdulla Darwish al-Darwish.Speaking to Gulf Times on the sidelines of the signing ceremony, al-Darwish said the MoU carries two main objectives. The first is to transfer ABIS's experience, alongside Siemens, from its current portfolio to Syria. The second is to extend the cooperation to cover other products within the Siemens portfolio to serve the Syrian market.The MoU covers Siemens’ Smart Infrastructure and Digital Industries portfolios, which al-Darwish said could serve sectors including energy, real estate, industrial, and utilities.In his speech at the ceremony, al-Darwish said the company was established on the vision of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani to develop Qatar's industrial sector and build local manufacturing capabilities."Based on this vision, and with the support of KAHRAMAA, we established Al Bidda Industries and Services to localise products that were previously imported and to build a Qatari industrial platform capable of serving both local and regional markets," al-Darwish emphasised.ABIS was set up in 2015 under a Qatar Development Bank (QDB) initiative and has since supplied switchgear to projects, including Qatar Rail, Hamad Medical Corporation, KAHRAMAA, the Private Engineering Office, and the Qatar Naval Base.Al-Darwish said the relationship between ABIS and Siemens has grown over time on the basis of trust and shared goals, crediting the German company's support for enabling ABIS to reach buyers across the Middle East and Asia."Based on the experience we have gained over the years, and with Siemens' support, we aim to establish local manufacturing capabilities and support the deployment of Siemens' advanced technology across various projects," he said.Ozdemir said the signing was an important milestone, describing ABIS as a long-standing partner that has shown competence and resilience over the years."We have decided to sign an MoU just to emphasise our collaboration moving forward into different territories in the regional place and more, as well as our activities in Qatar to be expanded in our other portfolio as well," Ozdemir said.He said what drew Siemens to deepen the partnership was ABIS's understanding of local market needs and its track record on critical infrastructure projects in Qatar."What is important for Siemens is the transfer of know-how and knowledge distribution to our ecosystem, and Al Bidda is a strong player in our ecosystem in Qatar," he said, adding that "We want to exchange our know-how with Al Bidda into different portfolios to create a win-win situation in the markets by utilising their local expertise and competencies."Ozdemir said trust was central to the decision to expand the relationship. "What we look for in a potential partner is trust, which is an essential foundation to forging a solid relationship, as well as the use cases that we are creating jointly," he said, noting that the partnership's proven model in Qatar could be replicated in other markets.The German ambassador described the agreement as a reflection of the Qatari-German partnership, which he said is rooted in long-standing tradition rather than circumstance. "It is also a proof of resilience because these past weeks and months...it's an important investment into the future because you are basically entering the next level," he added.
