Maaden has signed a strategic delivery agreement with Canadian engineering firm Hatch.
It means Hatch will be Maaden's delivery partner for the development and execution of its project pipeline.
The signing was attended by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Saudi Arabia Minister of Investment Fahad bin Abduljalil Al-Saif, Vice-chairman of Hatch Joe Lombard, Senior Vice President of Project Development and Engineering at Maaden Abdulrahman As-Sadlan, and senior ministers from Canada and Saudi Arabia (pictured).
Hatch has worked with Maaden in Saudi Arabia for more than three decades, completing projects in aluminium, alumina as well as other commodities.
A core pillar of the partnership is the combined commitment to develop the capabilities, skills, and workforce needed to position the metals industry as a long-term engine of Saudi Arabia's economy.
