Alfred H Knight, a global provider of inspection, testing, and consultancy services with a rich heritage in the mining, metals, and minerals industry, is forming a strategic partnership with Ajlan & Bros Mining (ABM), a leading force in Saudi Arabia’s mineral development sector.

The partnership will establish advanced metals and minerals capabilities in the Kingdom, operating from a state-of-the-art facility. This directly supports the growth of the local mining industry and the objectives of Vision 2030.

The facility will provide analytical services across the mining value chain, from mineral exploration to metallurgical testing and quality assurance. ABM’s regional knowledge combined with AHK’s global expertise will serve as a catalyst for innovation, operational excellence, and sustainable growth.

Fahd Al Enezi, CEO of Ajlan & Bros Mining, stated that this partnership represents a significant step toward building a world-class mining ecosystem in the Kingdom. He emphasised that collaboration with Alfred H Knight enhances standards of precision and operational excellence, while supporting the development of Saudi Arabia’s mining sector in alignment with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, saying, “This partnership represents a major milestone in our mission to build a world-class mining ecosystem in the Kingdom.”
