These aerial work platforms mark NEOM Media's inaugural investment in such equipment, with the decision to opt for JLG equipment being influenced by its reputation for quality and the excellent track record of Ejar. Additionally, the deal includes comprehensive maintenance contracts and training programs for operators and service technicians.

Khaled Kamal, General Manager of Ejar, commented, "Recognizing the importance of skilled operators, we provided extensive support and customized training to ensure the seamless integration of these battery-powered units into NEOM Media's operations. This achievement represents a significant step towards sustainable innovation and underscores our commitment to excellence, emphasizing our dedication to achieving zero emissions."

Neom Media Village allows access to second soundstage due to rising demand

 

NEOM is engaged in the development of four distinct resort areas within Saudi Arabia, encompassing Marine landscapes along the Red Sea, the Lower desert, Mountain terrain, and the Upper valley. The name "NEOM" is derived from the Greek prefix "neo," signifying new, combined with the Arabic term "Mustaqbal," meaning future. This ambitious NEOM project is backed by an investment of $500 billion, a collaborative effort involving Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, as well as both local and international investors.
