Datalec Precision Installations Expands Middle East Footprint with New Saudi Entity

Datalec Precision Installations (DPI) has officially incorporated a new entity in Saudi Arabia, marking a major expansion of its Middle East operations. This strategic move allows DPI to provide localized, end-to-end data centre design, build, and fit-out services in a market targeting 1.5 gigawatts of capacity by 2030. The expansion is driven by increasing data localization laws and massive investments from hyperscale providers like AWS, Google, and Microsoft. Building on its 51,000-square-foot regional hub in Dubai, DPI’s Saudi entity will offer in-country delivery and technical expertise to help hyperscalers and enterprises scale their AI-ready and sustainable digital infrastructure.

"Formalising our presence in Saudi Arabia is a pivotal step in DPI's Middle East growth journey and reflects our long-term commitment to the Kingdom's digital transformation," said Sean Christie, regional director, Middle East, DPI. "Building on the strong foundation we have established in the UAE, our new Saudi entity allows us to support customers and partners in-country with the same precision, agility and comprehensive capabilities they already rely on across the region."

DPI's expansion into Saudi Arabia builds on the company's regional hub in Dubai, a 51,000-square-foot facility that serves as its Middle East head office, manufacturing centre, marketing suite and training hub. From this base, DPI delivers a full spectrum of services, including grey space technical fit-outs, whitespace integration, lifecycle services, facilities management and high-value technical fit-outs for some of the region's most demanding data centre environments.

The Saudi entity will enable DPI to bring these capabilities closer to customers in the Kingdom, supporting hyperscalers, colocation providers and enterprises as they scale to meet growing cloud, AI and data localisation requirements. DPI's modular, scalable and sustainability-focused solutions are designed to help clients accelerate deployment, improve resilience and reduce total cost of ownership across the data centre lifecycle.

"Saudi Arabia is rapidly emerging as a global digital infrastructure hub, and we see tremendous opportunity to create local value through in-country delivery, skills development and long-term partnerships," Christie said. "By combining DPI's regional experience with deep local insight, our Saudi team will be well positioned to help customers navigate the next wave of growth driven by AI, cloud and smart government initiatives."

DPI's Saudi expansion forms part of a broader Middle East strategy centred on sustained regional investment in leadership, delivery capability, health, safety and environmental standards, and sales engineering expertise. As demand for high-performance, sustainable and AI-ready data centre infrastructure continues to accelerate, DPI remains committed to supporting multi-market programmes across the region.
