An experienced and highly qualified crew of engineers and technicians
whose goal is to achieve the major goals of the Company manages
the plant. These goals include the realization of safety and production
of dependable high quality goods. The quality assurance and maintenance
systems and procedures followed by the plant as per the API

Plant production started in early June 2001 with an annual production
capacity of 67,000 tons of carbon steel pipes but recently increased
production to 135,000 tons of iron pipes per year.
 The
plant has benefited from the expertise of pioneering parties in
the field of manufacturing and processing of pipes. The first party
is Abdel Hadi Abdullah Al-Qahtani & Sons
Group of Companies whose experience extends to more than
half a century and were, and still are, pioneers in the field of
supply and coating of pipes. The second party is Group
Five Pipe Company, which is a pioneer in the field of manufacture
of carbon steel pipes in South Africa. The plant uses the expertise
of these two pioneers in order to achieve Group integrity and satisfy
the needs of local and Arab markets in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The Company has succeeded in producing pipes in fulfillment of
the needs of the local market for pipes of big diameter and has
exported part of its production to neighboring countries. The  Company
has crowned its success with the production of the largest iron
pipe of its kind ever in the history of the industry with a diameter
of 3 meters as a pure Saudi production. The local industry has grown
through the use of locally produced steel. Al-Qahtani
Pipe Coating Plant has coated the largest pipe in another
first in the history of the industry proving itself as a pioneer
of the industry.
The management of the Company is devoted to the employment of Saudi
Graduates of technical Institutes and Colleges and training them
for the purpose of forming an integrated Saudi work crew in accordance
with the general national directives in realization of the wishes
of our wise government to localize jobs.
