Technal, a leading provider of sustainable aluminium windows, doors and façades solutions and a part of Hydro Extruded Solutions, has established its regional headquarters in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

A part of Norway-based Hydro, a global aluminium and energy company, Technal has 32,000 employees in more than 140 locations and 40 countries.

It has been operating in Saudi Arabia for more than 44 years offering low carbon footprint aluminium, energy-efficient and high-performance solutions for windows, doors, and facades.

The new headquarters in Riyadh will facilitate Technal in providing world-class aluminium windows, doors, and facades for its Saudi-based customers, architects, consultants, contractors, and developers.

The launch of the new headquarters was announced at an event recently hosted at the Norwegian embassy in Riyadh which was attended by Thomas Lid Ball, the Ambassador of Norway to Saudi Arabia.

Addressing the gathering, Ball said: “We are proud to have Technal in Saudi Arabia contributing to low carbon technologies for the construction sector. I am confident that Technal will contribute to implementing sustainable solutions that support the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.”

Sam Robinson, the Managing Director of Hydro Building Systems (Asia), said: “This is an exciting milestone as we outline our long-term interest to supporting decarbonisation through our solutions in Saudi Arabia. By investing in recycled and recyclable products building developers can lower the embodied carbon by a minimum of 75 per cent and create more end-of-life value for their buildings as well as contributing to a circular economy. Our aim is to contribute significantly to the kingdom´s developments as it progresses towards a more sustainable future in line with Saudi Vision 2030.”

“Buildings contribute to 40 per cent of all energy consumption globally. Our solutions focus on reducing the carbon footprint of buildings by offering leading sustainable aluminium windows, doors and facades worldwide,” noted Robinson.

“The Saudi market has significant potential with many key construction developments under way including Gigaprojects like Neom and the Red Sea Development. We are looking forward to growing our business in Saudi Arabia and the wider region and to continue supporting major projects that we are already involved in,” he added.
