AFIC is a leading provider
of cathodic protection products and services including; design,
installation, materials, engineering, monitoring, maintenance,
and technical support. AFIC was formed in 1982 as a joint venture
between Abdulla Fouad Group and Impalloy Limited of the United
Kingdom. The combination of Abdulla Fouad’s success in Saudi
Arabian heavy industry combined with Impalloy’s reputation
as a world class Cathodic Protection provider produced a company
capable of meeting the unique needs of the Cathodic Protection
(CP) market in the Middle East.
In 1998, AFIC became a 100% Saudi owned entity. AFIC’s steady
increase in regional projects and accreditation, as a quality
supplier of engineering services and materials is unparalleled
in the Middle East CP market place. AFIC enjoys a multitude of
partnering agreements with material and technical service providers
from USA, Canada, the UK, Europe and Asia. AFIC is able to design
and supply turnkey CP systems and/or Corrosion Monitoring Systems
(CMS) to meet virtually any requirement. AFIC supplies cathodic
protection products and engineering services to major oil &
gas, and petrochemical companies in Saudi Arabia and Middle Eastern
Region. Additionally, AFIC is a priority subcontractor to major
international and local contractors.
During the last five years, AFIC has been extensively working
with Saudi Aramco on the design and construction of CP systems
to protect the down hole and surface casings of oil and gas wells
in the existing and new oil and gas fields. The CP design includes
solutions for single wells and multi-well drill sites. As a result
of AFIC’s contribution in the design of a CP solution for
these complicated multi well platforms, Saudi Aramco published
a technical paper on “Cathodic Protection Design for Multi-Well
Sites” in the 2004 Middle East Corrosion Conference in Bahrain.
The AFIC management team consist of specialists in general corrosion,
production, cathodic protection applications, finance, quality
assurance and associated disciplines. In addition to the local
management and technical expertise, the full range of specialized
knowledge, R&D support and financial back-up is available.
AFIC’s core long term strategy is providing Saudi Arabian
and the Middle Eastern CP market with the highest level of products
and technical services available.
AFIC’s Engineering and Technical Personnel are certified
by the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) and
other recognized international institutes. AFIC’s CP engineers
hold certifiable university degrees from accredited universities.
AFIC is certified as an ISO 9001-2000 company by Moodys International.
AFIC manufactures and assembles the vast majority of the products
sold to our customers. In addition to manufacturing quality products
to international standards, AFIC’s in-house stock of transformer
rectifiers, anodes, junction boxes, test stations and other related
cathodic protection components are available for immediate delivery.
The result of in-kingdom stocking is greater economy and faster
delivery for our Middle Eastern customers. Our strong international
supplier partnerships span more than 20 years with major suppliers
of cathodic protection materials, equipment, and technical services
providers throughout the world. AFIC works with suppliers to insure
that the quality of the raw materials and/or components are capable
of withstanding the severely corrosive operating environment in
the Middle East.
AFIC’s operational paradigm is to engage in continuous improvement
of existing products and in the research and development of new
products in order to improve our operating capabilities and meet
our customers’ expectations as the best full.
