Masters of the Craft: Kobelco Certified Welders

We are thrilled to congratulate Mr. Usman and Mr. Imtiyaz from the Al Marwan welding team. They have completed the Kobelco Welding Certification Program (KWCP) held onsite in Japan.

This program is designed to push the boundaries of technical proficiency. Through comprehensive training and exhaustive testing, our team members earned the prestigious title of Kobelco Certified Welders.

The training demanded strict adherence to global quality standards, ensuring that every repair meets international safety and durability benchmarks. This comprehensive approach results in a higher level of service excellence, providing our team with an enhanced capability to perform high-stakes structural repairs on heavy machinery and specialized machinery.
Their success reinforces Al Marwan’s dedication to continuous improvement. Having Japan-certified experts on-site allows us to guarantee the structural integrity of every machine we service.

Setting New Benchmarks: The AAA Technician Test

In a landmark event for our technical department, candidates from Al Marwan successfully passed the 1st edition of the AAA Technician Test. This evaluation was conducted directly by the Kobelco Japan team in July 2025.

The evaluation process for the AAA designation involves a rigorous evaluation that stands as one of the highest levels of technical certification provided by Kobelco Japan. During this process, technicians must demonstrate extreme diagnostic precision, as they are tested on their ability to troubleshoot and resolve issues within complex hydraulic and electrical systems under pressure. 
By successfully passing this test, our team ensures a state of future readiness, positioning these certified experts at the forefront of our service journey to ensure minimal downtime and maximum efficiency for our customers' heavy machinery.
 

To honor this incredible feat, Al Marwan and Kobelco organized a formal awarding ceremony in January 2026. This event celebrated the hard work and technical brilliance of our service team.

Kobelco Crane Maintenance Training 2025

Safety and efficiency are the pillars of successful lifting operations. To uphold these values, we recently hosted the Kobelco Crane Maintenance Training program.

This training session adopted a comprehensive approach by covering preventive, planned, and unplanned maintenance strategies for crane machinery. A significant portion of the curriculum was dedicated to mitigating the risks of unscheduled breakdowns, emphasizing the technical skills needed to prevent sudden mechanical failures. By focusing on these protective measures, the session highlighted how avoiding unexpected equipment damage is essential for bypassing the costly consequences and extensive downtime that typically follow major operational disruptions.

We extend our gratitude to the Kobelco team and all participants. Such programs are vital for maintaining the high performance of crane machinery in demanding environments like the Middle East.
