SAMI-AEC Thriving on World-Class Integrated Manufacturing and MRO Capabilities in Defense and Technology

The company has a diversified operational footprint across the Kingdom, with access to an extensive network of more than 100 strategic partners.

Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 aims to localize 50 percent of its military spending by 2030. SAMI-AEC, a SAMI company, has been aligning its objectives and strategy with this ambitious vision by upgrading its local manufacturing capabilities, training, and empowering future leaders from among Saudi professionals.

 

As an enabler of the Vision with more than three decades of experience, SAMI-AEC aims to build up Saudi Arabia’s capabilities through technology transfer and localization, as well as developing comprehensive engineering, manufacturing, repair and maintenance capabilities in the defense, digital, energy, and cybersecurity fields.

 

With state-of-the-art infrastructure, world-class facilities and services, and rigorous quality control, SAMI-AEC’s manufacturing plant is a model of what modern, solid infrastructure should be like. The factory is equipped with world-class production lines and repair capabilities to build and repair all kinds of electronics for defense and industrial use.

Leveraging its comprehensive engineering and development capabilities (E&D) and strategic partnerships with international companies, SAMI-AEC has built market-leading military and defense solutions, enabling it to fully manufacture different types of electronic panels with self-testing capabilities across three fully automated SMT lines. Furthermore, the company has the capability to align and adjust lasers, conduct environmental stress screening (ESS), and develop the Test Software Package (TPS), as well as design and develop test solutions, electronic insulator matching tests, modules, system functions, and internal circuit inspections (using fixed and mobile sensors).

 

The extensive maintenance and repair capabilities provided by SAMI-AEC include repairs on all levels and locations, site operation and support; flight simulator assembly, integration, and database creation; operation and maintenance of flight simulators; pilot training; installation, commissioning, operation, and integration of products and systems; product and system modification; preventive and corrective maintenance; technical training and consultation; and logistics services.

 

In line with its ongoing journey of excellence and innovation, SAMI-AEC has recently achieved a series of significant milestones that further reinforce its leading position in the defense and technology sectors. The company was elevated to the Gold Tier in the Made in Saudi program in recognition of its high-quality standards and contribution to local content development. It also obtained the prestigious CMMI Level 5 certification — the highest international maturity level in software and engineering process development — reflecting its strong commitment to operational excellence and process optimization. Additionally, SAMI-AEC has been granted a Level 1 Managed Security Operations Center (SOC) service provider license by the National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA), underscoring its advanced capabilities in delivering top-tier cybersecurity operations and supporting the Kingdom’s digital security ecosystem.
