Dubai-UAE: 7 June, 2015 

Assystem, an international engineering company, hosted an exclusive client event in Al Khobar in Saudi Arabia on 1 June, headlined by Frédéric Cheneau, Middle East Business Director, Assystem, and Sales Director, Assystem-Radicon, as well as Almahdi Kurdieh, Managing Director, Assystem-Radicon.

The event was attended by about 40 top-tier customers of Assystem-Radicon, a leading company in the field of engineering design in Saudi Arabia. The session aimed to inform clients about Assystem's best-in-class international expertise as the fourth largest nuclear engineering company worldwide and highlighted the ensuing value for the growing clientele of Assystem-Radicon.

Frédéric Cheneau, responsible for Assystem's business in the Middle East, presided over the event where he used the opportunity to personally engage with the attendees. In his speech, he elaborated on the strengths and key competencies of Assystem as well as the significance of Saudi Arabia within its regional growth strategy. Following his address, Almahdi Kurdieh highlighted Radicon long term in Saudi Arabia and the remarkable benefits and synergies of the new partnership with Assystem. In particular, Kurdieh pinpointed how the combined expertise of both companies will prove beneficial to clients and ultimately contribute to the development of Saudi Arabia.

Frédéric Cheneau said: "I am delighted to have been part of this event as it presented a valuable platform for us to personally engage with our clients in the Kingdom and further improve our understanding of their requirements. Going forward, this will enable us to tailor our portfolio to their needs and deliver the world-class services that have secured our leading position in the industry for many decades. Given our expertise in the nuclear industry and Assystem-Radicon's impressive established clientele, we are confident we will play an important role in shaping the future of Saudi Arabia's nuclear energy sector, hand in hand with Assystem-Radicon's customers."

Almahdi Kurdieh added: "Maintaining a continuous dialogue with our customers is part of our tradition and one of the many common values with Assystem. For companies operating in the rapidly expanding infrastructure industry or looking to diversify into new fields such as nuclear, it is invaluable to have a close relationship with every single client to make sure we keep pace with their development in every possible way. This event offered us a chance to share our extended services and highlight how we aim to leverage Assystem's comprehensive portfolio of global services for the advantage of our clients."

The event was hosted as part of Assystem's integration strategy for Radicon, whose acquisition was announced in March 2015. The new entity Assystem-Radicon has doubled the size of Assytem's regional footprint and created a new engineering offering in the Saudi Arabian market.
