What Sisco does

SISCO (Specialized Industrial Services Co.) is a 100% Saudi-owned, privately held industrial services contractor founded in 1990 by Hadi and Fayez Al-Ratimah and headquartered in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia. The company delivers integrated engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services for onshore oil & gas, buildings & infrastructure, petrochemicals, and mining & metals projects, operating across all five regions of Saudi Arabia with a workforce of 5,000+. Its core technology stack combines long-tenured execution methodologies with an Integrated Management System (IMS) platform established in 2009, a proprietary Crude Oil Washing (COW) system achieving 99.5% oil recovery, and an end-to-end supply chain platform sourcing more than SAR 2 billion annually through 2,000+ suppliers across 17+ countries.

The business operates three service lines — Engineering & Construction (predominantly lump-sum turnkey contracts), Asset & Field Solutions (turnaround, shutdown, maintenance, and emergency services under long-term service contracts), and Global Supply Chain Solutions. Pricing is project-specific and quote-based under LSTK or reimbursable commercial models. SISCO's go-to-market is direct enterprise engagement anchored by multi-decade relationships with Saudi Aramco, SABIC and SABIC affiliates (Sharq, TASNEE, APPC, SIPCHEM, SASREF), Sadara, MAADEN, and Qiddiya Investment Company. Its most strategic contract is an 8-year (4+2+2 year) Unconventional Resources Maintain Potential Program (URMPP) awarded by Saudi Aramco in March 2022 for gas surface facilities in Jafurah, South Ghawar, and North Arabia.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The company's strategic positioning is tightly aligned with Saudi Vision 2030 localization mandates and in-country value requirements, reinforced by 100% Saudi ownership, ISO 9001/14001/45001 certifications, 100M+ safe manhours, and 35+ years of operating history. The customer base is heavily concentrated in Saudi state-owned and state-affiliated enterprises, and operational expansion is increasingly tied to upstream unconventional gas and Vision 2030 giga-projects.
