The MOU has been endorsed by key government and industry partners including Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Investment, India’s Ministry of Commerce & Industry & the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI).
The objective of the strategic alliance is to set up an aluminium formwork factory in Saudi Arabia that will boost its supply in Saudi & other Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries.

Our vision is to start using the technology in Neom, Al-‘Ula & National Housing Company for housing & commercial projects. And then take it to the entire MENA region. We are confident that working with Knest & India will be a watershed moment for all.”
