On November 28, 2018, Saudi Arabia’s renowned machinery suppliers, Abdul Latif Jameel Machinery decided to partner with the Kanoo Machinery. For years, Abdul Latif Jameel Machinery has been the prominent supplier of well-known Teksan Generators. The Teksan Generators is a Turkish company and has been manufacturing high-quality generators for almost 20 years, contributing to some of the major international projects around the globe. Its generators run on the Perkins Engines whose leading distributor is the Kanoo Machinery. The Perkins Engines which primarily manufactures diesel engines is a subsidiary of Caterpillar Inc. It is suggested that the partnership between these two sales giants will ensure the best-in-class warranty support in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the end-customers of Teksan Generators which are powered by the Perkins Engines.

Abdul Latif Jameel Machinery is the leading supplier of Teksan Generators. These generators are powered by Perkins’ diesel engines. Now, with this new ground-breaking partnership, Abdul Latif Jameel Machinery will provide warranty care as well as the parts that will support the Perkins Engines. The primary objective of this partnership is to expand the presence of Teksan and Perkins in Saudi Arabia and their aftersales support. It is also aiming to meet the increasing public demand for secure, reliable and affordable power. This announcement was held at Abdul Latif Jameel Machinery in Jeddah and was attended by the senior officials of all three partnering companies, i.e. Perkins Engines, Abdul Latif Jameel Machinery, and Kanoo Machinery. The Managing Director of Abdul Latif Jameel, Arif Chishti expressed his thoughts about this pioneering partnership, “A Kaizen approach to consistently improving our customers’ journey and experience is central to our work at Abdul Latif Jameel Machinery. The announcement of our partnership with Kanoo Machinery ensures that Teksan and Perkins’ quality commitment is delivered to our customers through Abdul Latif Jameel Machinery.”

The new facility at Jeddah is competent and has highly efficient staff offering prompt assistance. The new comprehensive state-of-the-art facility in Jeddah is expected to contribute to the local economy. This new facility features a competence development center which will provide the young Saudi talent ample opportunities to be part of a specialized work environment. It also consists of ergonomically designed parts counter warehouse which is supposed to augment the workflow, efficiency and increase the flexibility.

Speaking of which, the Kanoo Machinery is a leading group in machine handling, agriculture, construction, industrial equipment distributors and cleaning in the Gulf region. Over the years, the Kanoo Machinery has diversified its interest namely in shipping, oil & gas, power, logistics, travel, chemicals, joint ventures, and equipment rental.

Being a part of The Kanoo Group, one of the largest family-owned business groups with 120 years of experience in the Gulf, Middle East, and international market, it will be a suitable ally to Abdul Latif Jameel Machinery to provide extensive aftersales support. The Executive General Manager of Kanoo I&E, Fergus Burke said, “With a heritage that dates back more than a century, Yusuf Bin Ahmed Kanoo is one of the largest family-owned multinationals in the Middle East and is proud through Kanoo Machinery to associate with and to appoint Abdul Latif Jameel Machinery as an OEM Dealer (OEMD) for Perkins diesel engines in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”

The Teksan Generators are renowned for producing high-quality diesel, biogas, natural gas driven generators along with co-generation, tri-generation solutions and also hybrid power systems. The Teksan Generators being so valued in Saudi Arabia has garnered appreciation across the country. The Regional Power Manager of the Kanoo Machinery stated, “To meet the demands of the new generation of technologically advanced Perkins engines entering the market, Kanoo Machinery has chosen to partner with Abdul Latif Jameel Machinery as an OEMD to ensure that Teksan generators powered by Perkins receive the highest standards of warranty support across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”
