Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — Naqi Water Company signed a €8.53 million deal to purchase and supply a bottled drinking water production line from Middle East Machinery Factory Limited (MEMCO). The Naqi Riyadh water production line project reflects the company’s plan to expand operations across Saudi Arabia.
In a statement to Tadawul Saudi Arabia, Naqi confirmed the project will be self-financed. It supports Naqi’s new bottled water plant in Riyadh.
The company acquired the leased site of the plant on December 28, 2023. Construction is already underway. This expansion aligns with Naqi’s strategy to increase local production and meet rising demand.
Naqi Riyadh Water Production Line Expands Capacity
The Naqi Riyadh water production line is expected to increase output by approximately 700 million bottles per year. This will apply under normal operating conditions. The financial impact is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Naqi emphasized that the project aligns with its broader growth plans. Expanding its Riyadh facility will help scale bottled water production. It will also support Naqi’s sales and distribution network across the nation.
The company aims to strengthen its market share in Saudi Arabia’s competitive bottled water sector. It also reinforces the Kingdom’s drive to boost domestic manufacturing.
The Saudi Standard’s View: Water Production Powers Saudi Industrial Growth
Saudi Arabia isn’t importing strength — it’s building it. The €8.53 million Naqi Riyadh water production line shows how local companies are scaling essential industries. This is economic self-sufficiency in action.
Water is not just a product — it’s a strategic asset. Expanding bottled water production helps meet the rising demand of consumers. It also reduces reliance on imports.
Projects like this send a clear message. Riyadh is emerging as a hub for manufacturing, as well as food and beverage production. Every facility built strengthens Saudi Arabia’s industrial base. This is how the Kingdom grows — with scale, purpose, and confidence.
