NAMI Secures Military Manufacturing Licence in Saudi Arabia

NAMI, a joint venture between 3D Systems and Saudi Arabian companies Dussur and Saudi Energy, has received a Military Manufacturing Licence from the General Authority for Military Industries (GAMI) in Saudi Arabia. This licence authorises NAMI to undertake regulated military manufacturing activities within the country.

The licence is seen as a key step towards supporting Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 objective of localising more than 50% of military spending by 2030. It also enables NAMI to work more closely with international defence original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) on the qualification and production of aerospace and defence components within the country.

NAMI focuses on three strategic sectors in Saudi Arabia: military aerospace and defence, oil and gas, and energy generation and transmission. The company states that its Additive Manufacturing capabilities also support efforts to strengthen supply chain resilience by enabling localised, on-demand production of critical components.
