Under the new contract ESB International will provide engineering services to SEC in Saudi Arabia as well as other locations around the globe.

ESB International Managing Director Ollie Brogan said the company is making good inroads in the Middle East.

This new contract allows us to increase our presence in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which forms part of our business strategy this year,” he added.
