Larsen & Toubro Electricals Saudi Arabia Company Limited (LTESA), a joint venture between Larsen & Toubro International FZE (LTFZE) and Yusuf Bin Ahmed Kanoo, inaugurated its electrical and automation products manufacturing facility in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The company will offer services in technical engineering sector.

The inauguration of the new facility comes close on the heels of L&T completing the integration process of the switchgear facilities of Tamco of Malaysia, which it acquired in October 2007.

LTESA has built the manufacturing facility on a 15000 square meter plot with office and shop floor area accounting for 7000 square meters. It will engage in design, engineering and manufacturing solution for conventional and intelligent power and motor control systems, with automation in the low voltage and medium voltage categories. The company plans to offer project equipment to Saudi Arabia’s infrastructure, oil and gas and industrial sectors.

The Saudi Arabia facility along with Tamco’s facilities in Malaysia, Indonesia, China and Australia marks the progressive globalization of L&T electrical business and access to service the markets in the Asia-Pacific region and the Gulf countries.
