Honeywell unveils first oil and gas tech testing center in Kuwait

Honeywell unveiled its first certified in-country manufacturing, integration and testing center for advanced automation technologies in Kuwait.

The Honeywell Customer Solutions Center, located in Mina Abdullah in southern Kuwait, was officially inaugurated by Honeywell chairman and CEO Darius Adamczyk and Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) deputy chairman and CEO Hashem Hashem.

The center enables product assembly and customer testing and acceptance to be consolidated under one roof, making it easier and faster for customers to deploy new technologies.

The new Honeywell facility can assemble distributed control system (DCS) platforms and operator consoles for small- to medium-size automation projects. The center also customizes industrial software and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, and designs and assembles fire alarm panels, auxiliary consoles, power distribution panels and other cabinet systems.

“This localization initiative enables us to work more closely with our partners in Kuwait to promote the benefits of digital transformation,” Adamczyk said.
