DOHA: Siemens, the global powerhouse in electronics and electrical engineering operating in the energy, infrastructure, industry and healthcare sectors, has signed an agreement with Qatar-based Manweir, a provider of manufacturing and repair services to the oil and gas industry, to strengthen its local presence in the Gulf emirate and service its customers faster and better.
The agreement enables Siemens to provide servicing for its clients in Qatar’s oil and gas sector at Manweir’s new workshop in Ras Laffan, an industrial hub 80km north of Doha.
