Project Highlights

Company Profile

To outline all aspect of the TAMIMI GROUP involvement in summary will not fully compliment the diverse nature of its activities. Therefore, this has been generalized with special emphasis on the construction sector, which is its pioneer business. A brief background of its humble beginnings, along with immediately related companies or divisions as they are referred to, is mentioned below:

TAMIMI GROUP was established in 1953,by the late founder Chairman, Sheikh Ali A.Tamimi, to carry out pipeline construction, general construction and related works. During the intervening years, TAMIMI GROUP has expanded into many other fields of operations that has led to its present status as a wide spectrum construction, contracting ,commercial and manufacturing Group of Companies.

In 1986, the group reorganized and streamlined its operations into more efficient and productive mechanism. The organization known today as the TAMIMI GROUP represents half a century of development and evolution which has changed the face of Saudi Arabia.

Keenly aware of the Kingdom’s growing need for trained nationals, the group actively seeks, recruits, trains and shapes the careers of Saudis in line with the government’s Saudization program and prepare them to continue building this great country. Every year, Saudi students, from three principal educational grades are invited to join the group for their summer vacations who get invaluable first hand experience from one of their country’s most successful and diversified groups. While some will aspire to join the group to start their careers, others will use their gained experience to form their own enterprises.

TAMIMI GROUP today harnesses the very broad range of skills and talents of over 9000 people of some 28 different nationalities, distributed throughout several dozen companies engaged in highly diversified activities.

The TAMIMI GROUP, which consists of some 30 companies or divisions, is wholly owned Saudi Arabian entity, with its head office in Damam and regional offices in all major cities of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as well as in Bahrain ,Qatar ,Kuwait and UAE.

The Genie SX-180 is built to safely and quickly lift operators higher than any previously offered self-propelled boom lift. With a 180 ft (54.9 m) vertical reach and 80 ft (24.4 m) horizontal reach, the Genie SX-180 provides a working envelope ideal for the most extreme access jobs.

The machine is designed to be driven at full height. Travel speeds vary based on boom position and range from 2.5 mph (4.02 km/h) with the boom in the stowed position, 0.4 mph (0.65 km/h) below 125 ft (38.1 m) and 0.1 mph (0.17 km/hr) above 125 ft (38.1 m).
