What Expertise does

Expertise Company Ltd is a privately held Saudi Arabian industrial conglomerate headquartered in Jubail Industrial City, founded in 2008 (previously operating as Erection and Industrial Services Company). The company operates six integrated business segments: Industrial Services (plant maintenance and turnaround, project and services, electrical and instrumentation, rigging and lifting, rotary services, valve services, and technical support), Equipment Rental, Manufacturing (modular building services), Facility Management (catering and events), Civil Construction, and Trading of industrial materials. It serves enterprise customers across petrochemical, oil and gas, fertilizer, steel, cement, water treatment, and power generation, with operating presence in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, and Bahrain.

The company's technical platform rests on heavy physical assets rather than software: a SR 700+ million equipment fleet of 7,500+ specialized units including cranes capable of lifting 1200+ tons, a 400,000 sq. meter modular manufacturing facility producing 80+ finished modules per day, ISO 17025-certified electrical and instrumentation calibration capability with mobile labs, and certified ASME valve and Aramco-approved rigging teams. The 15,000+ workforce executes project-based industrial services, EPC contracts (LSTK), maintenance turnarounds, and on-site facility management at 30,000+ meals per day.

Expertise generates revenue through project-based industrial services contracts, equipment rental, modular construction, facility management (catering), civil construction (EPC/LSTK), and trading commissions. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific for enterprise B2B engagements. Distribution is direct enterprise sales via regional offices, with all known clients (500+) served through on-site delivery teams and dedicated account management. The company is controlled by founding leadership — Chairman Fares Al Shammari and President & CEO Mohammed Ashif — and has grown entirely through self-funded organic expansion with no disclosed external institutional capital.
