Linde AMT and Mathevon Group Strengthen Partnership with Expansion into the Middle East

Dammam, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, July 21, 2025 – Linde Advanced Material Technologies Inc. (Linde AMT), a world leader in high-performance coatings and advanced material technology, is pleased to announce an expanded partnership with Mathevon Group to deliver Linde branded coating solutions including the GV50H coating for gate and seat applications in the Middle East. This strategic move underscores Linde AMT and Mathevon’s commitment to meeting the region’s growing demand for innovative, reliable solutions in critical applications within the oil & gas sector.

The partnership builds on the proven success of Tunisia Coating Services (TCS), where Linde AMT’s GV50H coatings have been established as a marquee solution for safety-critical gate and seat components of valves used in oil and gas. Through this collaboration, Mathevon Middle East (MME) will replicate the success and operational practices of TCS in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, further localizing Linde AMT’s advanced coating expertise to serve the Kingdom and the broader region.

With a projected qualification of GV50H coatings in early 2026, MME is set to become a fully licensed facility for Linde AMT coatings. The site is designed to match the capacity and capabilities of TCS in Tunisia, enabling faster lead times and greater flexibility to accommodate the volume and technical requirements of the supply chain.

Derek Hileman, Vice President Global Coating Services, Linde AMT, commented:

“Expanding our partnership with Mathevon Group represents an important step forward in our commitment to delivering advanced coating solutions where they’re needed most. By listening to our customers and understanding their requirements, we’re moving decisively to mobilize resources and meet these demands with speed and precision.

“Our collaboration with Linde AMT allows us to provide customers in the Middle East with a proven coating solution for gates and seats, trusted by leading industry contractors for its effectiveness, reliability, and strong track record in both subsea and surface applications. Inspired by the successful experience of Tunisia Coating Services, Mathevon Middle East combines Mathevon Group’s renowned expertise in precision engineering with Linde AMT's globally recognized materials technology. This strategic partnership reflects our commitment to delivering historically validated, high-performance coating solutions while ensuring a rapid and tailored local response to our clients' evolving needs.”
