Roxtec lands Saudi contract

BURY-based cable seal manufacturer Roxtec has been chosen to supply the Sadara Project, one of the world’s largest new petrochemical plants, being constructed on Saudi Arabia’s east coast.

Its blast proof cable and pipe seals are being used across the plant to help protect against a range of hazards including fire and explosion.

The Sadara Project is being delivered by the Sadara Chemical Company, a joint venture between the Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Saudi Aramco) and The Dow Chemical Company.

Graham O’Hare, Roxtec’s managing director, said: “This is a great project win in the petrochemical sector. Our seals are being used in substations, motor control rooms, the utilities area, power rooms and the chlorine plant. We have also supplied air and gas tight seals for pressurised rooms.
 
“Roxtec’s multi-cable transit seals are a vital safety component in any integrated chemical plant. We have extensive experience in the process industry and petrochemical sector.”

Roxtec is a Swedish company which has its UK headquarters in Bury.
