Fastening pioneer opens 51st company worldwide
The fischer group of companies is opening a new chapter in its history. With the opening of a national subsidiary in Saudi Arabia, the fastening pioneer from the northern Black Forest is now positioned at the heart of one of the world's most dynamic markets.
It is the 51st operating company worldwide - and at the same time a signal: fischer is where the future is being built.
Saudi Arabia has long been a region of growing importance and is currently undergoing profound change. With its "Saudi Vision 2030", the kingdom is reinventing itself - moving towards innovation, sustainability and gigantic construction projects. New cities, futuristic architecture, major international events: the country is building its future - and fischer is part of it.
"Saudi Arabia is an important market for us, which is why we now have our own national subsidiary," says owner Prof. Klaus Fischer.
The new company is based in the capital, Riyadh. There are further locations in the cities of Jeddah, Dammam and Tabuk. Dammam is also home to a fischer production site. Alexander Bassler, CEO of the fischer Group, sees this as an important step: "The Middle East is of great importance to our company. Together with our locations in Dubai and Qatar, the new company strengthens our position in the region."
With over 32 million inhabitants, Saudi Arabia is the largest economy in the region - and with an area of 2.1 million square kilometres, it is almost six times the size of the United Kingdom. With many interesting projects in the pipeline, the country is on the verge of a historic construction boom. fischer is now well prepared for this - with global expertise, a local presence and now also its own location in Saudi Arabia.
