The agreement, announced at a press conference in Riyadh, follows an announcement by GE during US President Donald Trump's visit last weekend of $15 B of business deals, including memorandums of understanding which would require further agreements to materialize.
GE and Dussur signed a memorandum of understanding last year that is expected to result in nearly 3.75 billion riyals of investment by the two companies across multiple sectors in 2017.
