Nouryon, a global specialty chemicals leader, has announced the opening of its new office in Al
Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. The new office is in the prestigious Al Abdulkarim Tower, the tallest
commercial tower in the Eastern Province, in the heart of one of the largest cities in the Gulf. This
move marks a significant milestone in Nouryon’s commitment to expanding its operations and better
serving its customers in the Middle East.
“We are very pleased to inaugurate our new office in Al Dhahran, reinforcing our commitment to the
Saudi Arabia market and the Middle East,” said Mr Sobers Sethi, Senior Vice President Emerging
Markets and China at Nouryon. “This strategic investment will support our customer service,
logistics, and supply chain capabilities, as well as our growth ambitions in the region.”
The new Al Dhahran office will primarily function as a sales hub. A commercial team will be based
there to serve key end markets in the region including packaging, polymer specialties, building and
construction, oilfield and personal care.
“The opening of this office is a testament to our dedication to the Saudi Arabia market. By localizing
our operations and getting closer to our customers, we are better positioned to understand and
meet their needs,” said Ameer Al Majed, General Manager at Nouryon Saudi Arabia. “Our focus on
customer centricity and providing tailored solutions will drive our growth and success in this
dynamic region.”
Nouryon operates in Saudi Arabia as a joint venture with Yusuf bin Ahmed Kanoo Company, further
strengthening its presence and capabilities in the region. With operations in Saudi Arabia for more
than 25 years, Nouryon established Nouryon Saudi Arabia for chemicals as the legal entity in 2021 to
further expand its operations and serve as a hub for its employees in Saudi Arabia.
