RITMAN Signs Hot-Dip Galvanizing Deal with Al-Babtain
Recently, Xuzhou RITMAN Equipment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “RITMAN”) has successfully signed a cooperation agreement with Al-Babtain Group, a leading enterprise in Saudi Arabia’s power and telecommunications sectors, to deliver a new eco-friendly, fully automated angle steel hot-dip galvanizing production line. This landmark deal marks another significant milestone in RITMAN’s strategic expansion into the Middle East, underscoring the company’s core competitiveness in metal coating equipment and reinforcing its global footprint.
The core component of this galvanizing line—the zinc pot—measures 9 m (L) × 1.8 m (W) × 2.8 m (H) and will be integrated with RITMAN’s proprietary automation control system and environmentally sustainable process solutions. Once operational, the line will significantly enhance Al-Babtain’s capacity to produce corrosion-resistant structural components for power transmission, telecommunications infrastructure, and renewable energy projects, positioning the company’s product quality and manufacturing efficiency among the best in the Middle East.
This project represents RITMAN’s fifth installation in Saudi Arabia, further validating the strong market recognition of its technology and solutions overseas and laying a solid foundation for continued growth across the region.
Established in 1955, Al-Babtain Group is a renowned Saudi conglomerate with decades of expertise in outdoor lighting, power transmission and distribution, telecommunications, and renewable energy. Operating in more than 85 countries worldwide, the group maintains three major manufacturing hubs in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and France, and is widely respected for its stringent quality management systems.
Al-Babtain’s decision to partner with RITMAN stems from deep confidence in the company’s over 30 years of technical expertise in metal surface treatment equipment and its proven track record in delivering complex international projects. RITMAN views this collaboration as a strategic opportunity to leverage its technological strengths and create greater value for its partner—while actively supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals for infrastructure modernization and industrial diversification.
As a National High-Tech Enterprise and a “Little Giant” company recognized under China’s national “Specialized, Sophisticated, Distinctive, and Innovative” (SSDI) program, RITMAN has long been dedicated to R&D and intelligent manufacturing in metal surface treatment technologies. Its products are now exported to more than 50 countries and regions globally. In recent years, the company has seized the historic synergy between China’s Belt and Road Initiative and Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, accelerating its market penetration in the Middle East. Previously delivered smart production lines have already earned strong reputations in local applications such as structural steel corrosion protection and power equipment manufacturing.
Following the signing, RITMAN will immediately establish a dedicated cross-functional task force comprising experts from marketing, engineering, technology, supply chain, and project management. The team will conduct customized design and engineering tailored to Saudi regulatory requirements, climatic conditions, and operational needs—ensuring efficient execution and on-time delivery of the project.
Looking ahead, RITMAN will take this partnership as a new starting point to intensify its global outreach, continuously enhance innovation and service capabilities, and bring more high-quality intelligent equipment to the international stage. The company is confident that this deep collaboration with Al-Babtain will not only achieve mutual success but also contribute meaningfully to Sino-Saudi cooperation in advanced manufacturing and green industries—further promoting the adoption and development of Chinese intelligent manufacturing technologies across the Middle East.
