Saudi Arabia has signed an agreement to export 5,400 locally manufactured air conditioning units to Egypt throughout 2025, marking a significant step for the Kingdom's non-oil exports.
Mohannad Al-Shaikh, CEO of Johnson Controls Arabia, told Al-Eqtisadiah that the "Made in Saudi Arabia" units will supply a major real estate development project in Egypt, led by ORA Co. The initiative is in partnership with Raya Corp, he added.
All units are produced at the York Manufacturing Complex in King Abdullah Economic City under the "Made in Saudi Arabia" label. The facility is Johnson Controls' largest manufacturing plant in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, exporting over 30 percent of its output to 26 countries, including the US and China. Locally, production accounts for more than 80 percent of the company's sales.
"This achievement goes beyond a commercial partnership; it underscores Saudi industry's capability to expand globally and export innovation," Al-Shaikh said.
"It positions the Kingdom as a hub for designing, manufacturing, and exporting advanced smart air conditioning technologies."
The exported units are YORK Hi-End R32 Inverter Hi-Wall models, noted for high energy efficiency and integration of artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technologies for smart temperature and indoor air quality control.
The systems were developed with support from Johnson Controls Arabia's R&D Center in Jeddah to meet the needs of various regional markets.
Bassem Mojahed, CEO of Raya Corp., said: "We take pride in this partnership. It is a strategic step in delivering advanced air conditioning solutions to the Egyptian market, aligned with the latest global technologies for residential and commercial spaces."
