What Tanajib does

Tanajib is a privately held Saudi Arabian smart industrial solutions provider headquartered in Al Khobar, founded in 1990 by Mohammed Al-Naimi as an upstream oilfield services company and reorganized in December 2022 under Tanajib Holding, a closed joint stock company. The company serves leading oil and gas, petrochemical, power, and mining operators across the GCC (Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, UAE) through four integrated divisions: Drilling Solutions (wellsite data management via Petrolink, solid control via Derrick, wellbore technologies from NOV/HMH and Unitech, drilling fluid additives from SUN Drilling and Turbo-Chem), Maintenance Solutions (rotating equipment reliability through Lubretec and Pall lube oil filtration, heat exchanger plugging via Pop-A-Plug, Onis line blinding, EST hydrostatic testing, BiTherm steam trap monitoring, and FRP maintenance), Process Optimization (Pall fluid filtration, Plasticon FRP storage and processing systems, specialty chemicals, and the Tanajib Cleaning Center for filter regeneration), and Manufacturing (Tanajib Industrial for polyurethane pipeline scrapers and Tanajib Pipes Thread Protectors for OCTG protection).

The company's technology stack is predominantly partner-licensed and partner-distributed rather than internally invented, anchored by joint ventures with global leaders including Pall Corporation (filtration), Mitsubishi Power (turbine/boiler servicing), Bin Butti Rotating Machinery / Howden (rotating equipment), NOV/HMH (drilling), Derrick (solid control), BiTherm (steam traps), Onis (line blinds), EST Group (tube plugging), Lubretec (lubrication reliability), Plasticon (FRP/dual laminate), Turbo-Chem and SUN Drilling (drilling chemistry), and Petrolink (wellsite data). Tanajib adds localized engineering, installation, field service, and now indigenous manufacturing (Dammam 2nd Industrial City facility with capacity of 40 kg/min solid polyurethane and 120 kg/min foam scrapers). The portfolio is held under multiple wholly owned subsidiaries plus two joint ventures, with ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001 certifications across entities.

Tanajib's commercial model is enterprise B2B sales-led with quote-based pricing (no public rate cards). Revenue streams include professional services (drilling, maintenance, process optimization) and hardware sales (manufactured scrapers, thread protectors, distributed partner products). The company maintains long-term contracts with marquee customers including Saudi Aramco, SABIC, Kuwait Oil Company, Saudi Electricity Company, Alu Ma'aden, and two of the largest refineries in Saudi Arabia, and is registered and pre-qualified as a vendor across major GCC operators. Customer acquisition is driven by direct enterprise sales, partner co-marketing through global OEMs, and participation in industry exhibitions. As a private closed joint stock company with no external parent or disclosed funding rounds, ownership remains founder-led under Chairman Mohammed Khalid Al Naimi.
