Project Overview:
Saudi Arabian Military Industries (SAMI) is a national holding company owned
‎100% by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), a sovereign wealth fund owned by the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). SAMI was established in May ‎2017 to develop the
military industrial infrastructure necessary to help the Saudi Vision ‎2030 aim
of localizing military spending to at least ‎50% by the end of the decade. It
commenced operations in January ‎2018. SAMI is working with numerous Original
Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and local contractors to establish the military
industrial infrastructure across the Kingdom. It is organized into ‎5
Divisions: Aeronautics, Defense Electronics, Land Systems, Weapons & Missiles
and Emerging Technologies; Naval interests are covered within the Weapons &
Missiles portfolio. Bechtel was contracted in August ‎2020 to provide a

facility near Riyadh over the next ‎3-‎4 years.
