As part of its commitment to support Sultanate’s nationalization plan and offer opportunities to Omani Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs), Orpic conducted its second In-Country Value (ICV) Roadshow in Ibri under the auspices of H.E. Shaikh Abdullah bin Ali Al Qatabi, State Adviser. This event was conducted in association with GS engineering & Construction Corp. and Mitsui & Co., Ltd, who have been awarded the NGL Gas Extraction Plant with Offsite & Utilities for Liwa Plastics Industries Complex (LPIC) Project. 

The day-long event discussed Orpic as well as GS engineering & Construction Corp. and Mitsui & Co., Ltd’s investment impact on Oman’s economy through the LPIC project. Speaking at the event, Dr. Hilal Al Hinai, General Manager – Corporate Support Services, Orpic, said, “As one of the transformational projects being undertaken by Orpic, we are committed to serving Oman with pride. At Orpic, we support SMEs directly via business operations, ring fence certain tenders specifically for Omani SMEs, which in turn will impact Oman’s GDP through the payment of profits and salaries, and employment opportunities for individuals.” 

This is the second of the three ICV roadshows that Orpic will conduct in the coming months, which will support and offer Omani SMEs a chance to partner with the LPIC project.
