Our History
AFI Arabia “AFIA” has been established in 2023 with a factory at Dammam- Modon 2nd Industrial city . The story of AFI Arabia begins with the engineering excellence and innovation legacy of Axial Fans Int Srl (AFI Italy).
Founded in Italy in 2009, AFI was established with a clear and ambitious vision to redefine the standards of industrial axial fan technology through advanced engineering, continuous research, and uncompromising quality. From its headquarters in Besnate, Italy, AFI rapidly grew into a globally recognized manufacturer of high-performance axial fans for Oil & Gas, Power generation, District Cooling & Steel industrial applications.
Over the years, AFI Italy has invested heavily in research and development, introducing patented blade designs and innovative aerodynamic solutions that significantly improved efficiency, reduced noise levels, and optimized overall system performance. With production capabilities covering a wide range of blade diameters and configurations, AFI became a trusted partner for cooling tower manufacturers, power plants, oil & gas facilities, petrochemical industries, and heavy industrial sectors worldwide.
Through continuous improvement, technological innovation, and a strong customer-centric approach, AFI expanded its presence across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas. Its reputation was built on reliability, precision manufacturing, and the ability to deliver customized solutions tailored to the specific requirements of each project.
The Expansion to Saudi Arabia
Recognizing the rapid industrial growth and strategic importance of the Middle East particularly the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, AFI made a strategic decision to establish a strong local presence in the region.
Thus, AFI Arabia, AFIA was born.
AFI Arabia represents the next phase in the company’s global journey bringing Italian engineering expertise directly to Saudi Arabia through local manufacturing, technical support, and regional project execution. This expansion aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 initiative, supporting localization, industrial development, and technology transfer within the Kingdom.
