Manna Glass Company has completed the installation of a 5t Konecranes overhead crane at its new smart factory in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The project included lifting and positioning a crane structure weighing 15t into its final location within the facility.
The company said the installation required a coordinated approach involving engineering expertise, detailed planning, and close cooperation across teams.
According to Manna Glass, the process illustrates the steps necessary to meet industrial challenges in complex environments.
The newly installed Konecranes crane is intended to support the factory’s operational requirements, strengthening the site’s industrial infrastructure.
Manna Glass Company said: “More than simply installing equipment, this operation represents the engineering expertise, careful planning, and coordinated execution required to overcome complex industrial challenges.
“Every step forward strengthens our industrial infrastructure and supports our ongoing commitment to manufacturing excellence.”
Manna Glass Group says it has been involved in the glass manufacturing industry in Saudi Arabia for more than six decades.
The company operates 56 branches, employs over 1,800 staff, and offers a range of processed glass products, including tempered, insulating, laminated, and mirrored glass.
The group also provides glass processing services across Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region.
Manna Glass states it supports Saudi Vision 2030, aligning with national objectives for economic transformation and diversification through technology and sustainability.
Konecranes, headquartered in Finland, provides material handling solutions to industries worldwide. The company employs around 16,500 people across more than 50 countries.
Last month, United Iron & Steel Company (UISC), based in Abu Dhabi, deployed a fleet of 15 Konecranes overhead cranes to manage the handling of steel coils throughout its production operations. The cranes were responsible for moving both raw materials and finished steel coils.
