James Pecz, the Head of Global Business Development and Customer Experience at Ramtech, emphasizes the impact of emerging fire safety technologies on Saudi Arabia’s construction landscape. Fire safety remains a critical concern for projects globally, and Ramtech, a leader in wireless solutions, has recently partnered with Mimar, a leading engineering and equipment provider in Saudi Arabia, to enhance fire safety standards.
This collaboration will introduce Ramtech’s cutting-edge fire safety technologies, including the Wireless Evacuation System (WES3) and the REACT platform, to the Saudi construction sector. With a history of success—including safeguarding a $2.5 billion megaproject in Dubai—Ramtech is well-positioned to elevate fire safety protocols during the essential construction phases in a region with ambitious capital projects totaling $1.2 trillion.

Ramtech’s Mission for a Safer World
Ramtech is dedicated to creating a safer world through innovative solutions, with Saudi Arabia representing a significant opportunity to make a substantial impact. The company aims to expand globally, providing access to its diverse product lineup, with the partnership with Mimar marking a pivotal step in this journey.
Designed for demanding environments in construction, industrial, marine, and mining sectors, Ramtech’s products align perfectly with the activities driven by Saudi Arabia’s “Vision 2030.” As this vision unfolds, Ramtech aims to introduce its advanced fire and life safety solutions to major projects like Neom and the Red Sea project.
The Strategic Partnership with Mimar
Mimar is recognized as a top supplier of construction and safety products in Saudi Arabia and will extend Ramtech’s reach throughout the kingdom. This partnership encompasses sales, technical support, training, and after-sales service for the WES and REACT product lines. Mimar’s reputation for delivering premium products aligns with Ramtech’s strategic vision, ensuring a long-lasting and fruitful collaboration.
All systems at Ramtech are designed with specific applications in mind, from connectivity frequencies to alarm sounds, guaranteeing that each system meets the market’s unique needs. The company maintains high quality standards and certifications to expedite approvals by regulatory bodies like Civil Defence, with independent global testing laboratories ensuring compliance.
Saudi Arabia is experiencing a notable shift in safety attitudes, and Ramtech’s offerings are instrumental in facilitating this change. The company seeks to collaborate with stakeholders, insurance firms, and contractors to redefine safety standards, aiming to establish mandatory requirements for fire protection and site notifications during emergencies.
However, introducing new products to the market comes with challenges, primarily centered around raising awareness and educating potential users about the products’ functions and benefits. To support this, Ramtech will focus on increasing visibility through exhibitions, webinars, and digital platforms, alongside workshops and training sessions for key stakeholders.
Building on Success and Future Aspirations
The partnership with Mimar is set to leverage Ramtech’s recent successes in the UAE, particularly with the Sobha Hartland project, where WES systems were successfully implemented. Sobha’s commitment to quality and sustainability resonates with Ramtech’s safety solutions, highlighting the synergy between their goals.
As Ramtech engages in discussions with major projects across Saudi Arabia, including significant deployments of WES in Neom, the company aims to lead the evolving safety mindset among contractors and developers. By collaborating with innovation departments in the Middle East, Ramtech plans to support efforts to create safer and more sustainable projects.
Ultimately, Ramtech views its customers as partners and aspires to be a trusted ally in innovation and safety across the regio
