Emerson to open Middle East service centre with Qatar's first certified flow calibration lab

Global automation leader Emerson plans to build a new automation solutions service centre in Qatar's Umm Alhoul Free Zone. The 3,500-square-metre facility will house the region's first certified flow calibration lab and expand Emerson's capabilities across the Middle East and Africa. The centre will offer measurement instrumentation solutions, spare parts distribution, customer training facilities, and distributed control system integration services. Opening in phases, control systems and measurement solutions will launch in December 2026, with the calibration lab following in early 2027. The investment aligns with Qatar National Vision 2030's economic diversification goals. The facility adds to Emerson's existing Middle East presence in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, helping regional customers reduce operational disruptions and accelerate project timelines.
