Putzmeister receives largest single order to date from Asas Al-Mohileb Company

Putzmeister officially received the final order from Asas Al-Mohileb (Saudi Arabia) on October 26, 2024. This means that the company is not only involved in the unique NEOM 'The Line' project, but it is also the largest single order in the company's history. This order includes the delivery of truck-mounted concrete pumps, stationary concrete pumps, rotary distributors and delivery lines. Putzmeister is thus the exclusive partner for the delivery of all concrete equipment – a proof that long-term commitment and close teamwork pay off.

For Putzmeister, the last Saturday in October 2024 marks a milestone in the company's history: on that day, the final order was placed by Asas Al-Mohileb, a leading Saudi construction and engineering company. A company that is currently building a state-of-the-art concrete plant complex that will deliver over 20,000 cubic meters of ready-mixed concrete daily after completion – and thus plays a central role in the development of the visionary megacity “The Line”. As the new exclusive partner for the supply of all concrete equipment, Putzmeister will play a major role in this ambitious project.

The major order includes the provision of state-of-the-art equipment for the construction and operation of the infrastructure of this extraordinary city. Putzmeister has already started delivering the first package, which includes seven BSF 56-5.16 HLS and twelve BSF 42-5.16 HLS truck-mounted concrete pumps. The order volume for the first delivery alone was 80 million SAR (approx. 20 million Euro)! 

The plan for the next few months includes the delivery of four truck-mounted concrete pumps BSF 60-6.16 HLS, along with twenty BSA 14000 SHP D stationary pumps and sixteen SV 18-3 rotary distributors. In addition, there will be 30 sets of 500 m long ZX125 delivery lines with a total length of 15 kilometers.

The first pump test of the stationary equipment is scheduled for the third quarter of 2025, while the project is expected to start in full in the first quarter of 2026.

After more than two and a half years of intensive project preparation and six months of sales negotiations, this order marks the greatest success in the almost 70-year history of Putzmeister. “This project demonstrates the perseverance and innovative strength of our team. We have every reason to celebrate, but now we are rolling up our sleeves to tackle the next stage of this impressive project,” says Jens Bawidamann, Chief Sales Officer EMEA and Managing Director Putzmeister Concrete Pumps GmbH.

'The Line' is the central component of the Neom project. The planned city will extend over 170 kilometers and will provide a home for nine million people – completely emission-free and powered by renewable energy. “The Line” will create a completely new concept of living – with vertical urban development, short distances to all facilities and a focus on biodiversity. The construction project started in 2022 and is scheduled for completion by 2030.

Putzmeister sees its personal success and involvement in this visionary project as a symbol of the construction industry's emergence into a new era of urban development and sustainability. As a market leader, the company's goal is to play a central and responsible role in this.
