On the 19th of November 2005 DEKOMTE de Temple Kompensatortechnik GmbH is hosting an expansion joint symposium to cross section of delegates from the oil and gas and power generation market of Saudi Arabia. The venue will be at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in the strategic seaport of Jeddah (Saudi Arabia). Besides presenting expansion joint technology, DEKOMTE will discuss the strategic corporate alliance between Arabian and German companies.

The purpose of this symposium is to contribute our corporate aims and philosophy to the delegates, in order that they discover why DEKOMTE not only wants to establish a sales office in Saudi Arabia but also production facilities. This realises the ambition to enable a product "Made in Saudi Arabia".

The speaker and founder of DEKOMTE de Temple Kompensatortechnik GmbH, Mr. Guenther de Temple, presents a topic about the targets of an technically biased economical cooperation.

The main goal for this seminar is to demonstrate to Saudi Arabia the "knowledge product" principle as a corporate strategy. DEKOMTE would like to provide high class technology, according to the requirements in Saudi Arabia, to achieve a long term technological autonomy.

The key point of the presentation is the strategic corporate alliance. That means the idea of being a company in the company. The alliance purpose is to bring to the interested party´s which advantages and economies of scale will occur, if they go for a cooperation with expertised partners at an early stage of development.

This strategic decision to integrate expertise right from the beginning saves the plant operator a large amount of money. Additionally that it reduces operational disorders distictively in a long-term view.

The technical consulting and the expertise, which is featured by DEKOMTE for more than 25 years, is the foundation for manufacturing and for essential services like maintenance and on site services in Saudi Arabia and its neighbouring states.

The strategic decision, to provide expansion joint know how, is reflected in the upcoming foundation of an Saudi Arabian DEKOMTE branch. Specified details of the branch foundation, to overcome obstacles for foreign companies, as well as successfully socialised business connections will be explained and illustrated by Mr. Guenther de Temple on the 19th of November.
