Vision 2030 and Food Industry: Investment Opportunities in Sustainable Equipment

Vision 2030 and Sustainability
16/01/2026

Today's accelerating industrial development in the Kingdom imposes new rules of the game, especially for investors seeking quality and operational efficiency. When we seriously discuss Vision 2030 and the food industry and investment opportunities in sustainable equipment, we mean the necessity of choosing stainless steel equipment and fittings capable of withstanding work pressure and reducing waste, not just buying traditional machinery. This is the standard we rely on at Tervinox when designing and manufacturing tanks and production lines to provide you with practical engineering solutions that ensure your factory's continuity and compliance with the highest standard specifications currently required.

How Does Vision 2030 Support New Food Factories?

The Kingdom's current direction is not limited to encouraging industry but places Vision 2030 and the food industry at the heart of national priorities to achieve food security. When you decide to enter this field, you will find a fertile environment that supports you by providing industrial land at subsidized prices and facilitating licensing procedures through unified digital platforms.

The real goal is to reduce the import bill and rely on national products made in Saudi Arabia, which means your factory will have priority in competing within the local market if it adheres to the quality and sustainability standards we always encourage.

Key incentives you will receive as a new investor:

Customs exemptions on raw materials, machinery, and imported equipment necessary for manufacturing.
Protection for the national product against unfair competition from imported products flooding the market.
Export support and facilitation of your food products' access to regional and global markets.
Advanced logistical infrastructure that facilitates transportation and distribution operations inside and outside the Kingdom.

Manufacturing Stainless Steel Tanks for Food Factories

When we talk about food safety, choosing the appropriate metal is not a luxury but an absolute necessity. At Tervinox, we understand that manufacturing stainless steel tanks requires high precision in selecting materials. We usually use 316L stainless steel for areas in direct contact with the product due to its high resistance to acids and rust, while we use 304 for the external structure.

The engineering design of the tank must ensure there are no dead points where bacteria accumulate, while providing Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems that ensure tank sterilization without needing to disassemble it. These precise details are what distinguish between a tank that lasts for decades and another that causes product contamination after a short period.

Basic technical specifications we adopt in tanks:

Metal type: Use of food-grade certified stainless steel sheets compliant with international specifications.
Welding quality: Application of hygienic argon welding (TIG) and treatment of welding areas to prevent corrosion and roughness.
Thermal insulation: Equipping tanks with insulation layers and jackets (Double Jacket) for precise temperature control.
Surface finishing: Polishing internal surfaces with high smoothness levels (Mirror or 2B finish) to prevent material adhesion.

Food Production Line Equipment Companies in Riyadh

Searching for food production line equipment companies requires you to think about after-sales more than just purchasing. The real advantage of dealing with a local engineering company lies in rapid response to maintenance, spare parts availability, and understanding the requirements of the Saudi market and the General Authority for Food and Drug.

We work on designing flexible production lines capable of future development so you can increase production capacity or add new products without needing to change the entire line. Relying on a local partner ensures precise installation and training for your technical team, reducing sudden downtime periods that may cost the factory significant losses.

Standards for selecting the executing company for your production line:

  1. Ability to provide customized solutions that suit your factory space, not just ready-made solutions.
  2. Having real previous work and existing projects that can be visited to verify equipment quality.
  3. Availability of an engineering team capable of providing technical consultations and solving operational problems quickly.
  4. Commitment to delivery and installation deadlines to ensure commercial production starts at the planned time.

Sustainability Requirements in the Saudi Hospitality Sector

The concept of sustainability in hotels and major restaurants is no longer a marketing choice but has become a basic condition for working within the major project system such as NEOM and the Red Sea. When discussing Vision 2030 and the food industry, you should know that your facility's commitment to environmental standards is your gateway to obtaining supply contracts for these global destinations.

We see a radical transformation in licensing requirements, as concerned authorities today require clear plans for waste management and reducing the carbon footprint of central kitchens and food factories. This means your investment in eco-friendly equipment is not just an additional feature but a protective shield for your project from regulatory violations and a guarantee of its continuity operating efficiently in the long term.

Key environmental standards that must be available in your equipment:

Water management systems that reduce waste during washing and preparation operations.
Use of manufacturing materials that are completely recyclable such as high-quality stainless steel.
Effective application of oil and grease separation techniques before discharging them into the public network.
Engineering designs that reduce food waste during manufacturing and storage stages.

How Modern Equipment Contributes to Achieving Environmental Goals

Relying on old technology in production lines is the primary culprit in raising operational bills and increasing emissions. The solution lies in transitioning to modern engineering equipment that we design to work intelligently, directly contributing to reducing resource consumption.

For example, thermally insulated tanks and advanced heat exchangers conserve energy instead of dissipating it, and automated cleaning systems (CIP) save enormous amounts of water and chemicals compared to traditional manual cleaning.

This integration between engineering and environment is the essence of smart investment that achieves rapid financial returns by saving monthly expenses, while simultaneously raising your factory's rating as a green facility.

Modern equipment operation mechanisms for resource conservation:

Advanced thermal insulation: Prevents heat or cold leakage from tanks, reducing strain on cooling compressors and treatment heaters.
Smart control systems (PLC): Adjust motor and pump operation according to actual need only, preventing continuous operation and futile electricity consumption.
Streamlined flow design: Reduces product residue stuck in pipes and tanks, meaning less product waste and less water for washing.
High-efficiency motors: Using motors with energy-saving ratings (IE3 or IE4) to reduce electrical current draw.

Government Incentives for Energy-Saving Technologies

The state is strongly pushing you toward modernization and offering you financial support to encourage you to take this step. The National Sustainability and Energy Efficiency Program offers incentive packages for factories that decide to replace their old equipment with energy-efficient ones, or for new factories that adopt clean technologies from the start.

These incentives make the cost of acquiring advanced production lines from Tervinox or others less burdensome on your establishment budget. Benefiting from these programs requires submitting technical documents proving the efficiency of the equipment you intend to purchase, which is our role as an engineering entity to help you provide precise technical specifications that support your file with financing and industrial support authorities.

Table showing the most important support programs currently available:

Support Authority Type of Incentive Offered Purpose of Support
Industrial Development Fund Competitive loans with long repayment periods Financing solutions for improving energy efficiency and industrial automation
Saudi Energy Efficiency Center Technical support and consultation initiatives Helping factories identify energy-saving opportunities in equipment
Factories of the Future Program Grants and financing for digital transformation Supporting adoption of Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies and smart equipment


Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the warranty period on stainless steel tanks and production lines?

We provide an actual warranty extending several years on structures and welding defects because we are confident in our local manufacturing quality. As for electrical and mechanical parts (such as motors and pumps), they are subject to the authorized agent's warranty, and we guarantee you the provision of spare parts and periodic maintenance throughout the operating period.

Can new equipment be connected to your factory management system (SCADA)?

Absolutely, all control panels we design are compatible with integration into SCADA systems or central monitoring systems, allowing you to monitor production, temperatures, and faults remotely via control screens or even smartphones to ensure real-time factory management.

What is the difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel and why does the price differ?

The fundamental difference lies in the "molybdenum" element added to 316 grade, making it resistant to corrosion by acids and chlorides (such as salt and strong cleaners), which is why it is more expensive and its price is justified for areas in contact with food, while 304 is excellent for external structures and dry or non-acidic foods.

How is installation handled in cities far from Riyadh?

We have mobile field installation teams covering all regions of the Kingdom. Equipment is carefully shipped disassembled, and our technical team arrives at the site to assemble, install, and operate the line. We do not leave the site until commissioning tests are conducted and your workers are trained.

Do you provide "engineering layout" design service for the factory before manufacturing?

Yes, this is a basic step we do not skip. Before cutting any piece of metal, our engineers draw 2D and 3D plans for equipment distribution within your factory space (Layout Design) to ensure movement flow and compliance with the Food and Drug Authority and Civil Defense requirements.
