Renowned for its comprehensive supply chain solutions, ASYAD continuously seeks to enhance its capabilities to meet the evolving demands of its clients and industries it serves.
Challenge
ASYAD identified a strategic need to expand its service offerings to include IECEx-compliant rotating equipment repairs. This required transforming its existing motor repair facility into a fully certified IECEx-approved facility.

EPIT Group’s trainers delivered specialised training programmes to ASYAD’s personnel, equipping them with the knowledge and skills required to meet IECEx standards. This training not only prepared the workforce for certification audits but also instilled a culture of continuous improvement and technical excellence. - Guidance and Support:
Throughout the process, EPIT’s team of experts provided guidance, ensuring that ASYAD’s engineers and technicians met all technical and operational requirements for IECEx approval. This included consultation on best practices for rotating equipment repairs and compliance with international standards.

Through EPIT’s expertise and support, ASYAD successfully transitioned from a motor repair facility to an IECEx-certified provider of equipment repair services. This certification positioned ASYAD as a trusted partner for clients requiring IECEx-compliant solutions, enhancing its reputation and service capabilities in the MENA region.
