Saudi International Petrochemical Co.’s (Sipchem) Riyadh-based subsidiary the Saudi Specialized Products Company (WAHAJ) has completed manufacturing 18 Hawk jet platforms for the first time in Saudi Arabia, Sipchem said in a statement on Monday.

 

The company also manufactured the ground equipment of the platforms.

 

The project marks the first cooperation between WAHAJ and BAE Systems Saudi Arabia.

 

The platforms were shipped from Riyadh to the United Kingdom, where they will be used for the Hawk aircrafts.

 

The Hawk platforms were completely manufactured by Saudi calibers at WAHAJ’s premises in Riyadh's Second Industrial City.

 

They are used to carry the main parts of the aircraft and other special platforms that carry the wings.

 

WAHAJ is 75 percent-owned by Sipchem. South Korea’s Hanwha Chemical owns the remaining 25 percent.
