Become a supplier

All companies supplying goods and services to Aramco are required to be registered. 

There are different registration and qualification processes and requirements depending on a number of factors, such as the supplier company's location and type (material vendor, manufacturer, or service provider). Aramco is looking for high-performing and highly-qualified suppliers who can provide best-in-class materials and services.

It is important to note that registering and then qualifying as an Aramco supplier does not guarantee you future business with Aramco.
