Inaugurated in April 2010, FS-Elliott Saudi Arabia Ltd.began as a joint venture between FS-Elliott Co., LLC, and GAS Arabian Services Co., Ltd. with the goal of providing locally packaged, reliable, and energy-efficient air solutions to customers in the Middle East. As a result of the joint venture, FS-Elliott Saudi Arabia Ltd. has provided local support to over 250 operating installations.
 
In December 2013, FS-Elliott Saudi Arabia Ltd. completed the packaging of three Polaris industrial compressors for Saudi Airlines.
