On August 31, 2026, an announcement from the Shanghai Stock Exchange caused JANHO's stock price to rise in the afternoon. This leading Chinese private curtain wall enterprise has just confirmed news that its subsidiary JANHO Curtain Wall Arab Engineering Co., Ltd. has successfully won the bid for the Northwest Transportation Hub Project curtain wall project in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, with a contract amount of approximately 223 million yuan. From the opera house in April to the transportation hub in August, connecting two cities within six months, JANHO is quietly expanding its presence in the high-end curtain wall market in Saudi Arabia.

Half year dual project verification of high-end capabilities

In April 2026, JANHO won the bid for the curtain wall project of the Royal Al Draiyeh Opera House in Saudi Arabia, with a contract amount of approximately 150 million Saudi riyals. After four months, we have once again won the Riyadh core transportation hub supporting project. The transportation hub buildings have extremely strict requirements for the safety, durability, and visual effects of curtain walls. The consecutive bidding marks that JANHO curtain walls have gained recognition in the Saudi market for their technical strength and engineering performance in the high-end curtain wall field. The volume of 223 million yuan may not be as large as the infrastructure project, but it is a highly valuable signal in the curtain wall subdivision track.

Segmented leaders follow the general contractor to go global

The Saudi infrastructure boom is releasing a large demand for secondary engineering. After infrastructure giants such as China Railway Construction and China Electric Power Construction won the EPC general contracting, engineering opportunities in segmented fields such as curtain walls, steel structures, mechanical and electrical installation, and decoration emerged. JANHO is a microcosm of China's "invisible champion" in the construction industry chain going global - relying on the accumulated technical capabilities and international standard adaptation experience in China, following the footsteps of the general contractor to go overseas. In the large-scale construction of a new city in Riyadh, every decent building requires a curtain wall, and Chinese enterprises in specific fields are entering a window period.

Rolling mode of exchanging markets on site

From the opera house to the transportation hub, JANHO will connect two cities in Saudi Arabia within six months, and its expansion path is clear: first prove its ability to fulfill the contract through the first project, and then win the second project with an excuse. This rolling business model of "exchanging projects for trust and exchanging sites for markets" provides a replicable path for Chinese construction industry chain enterprises planning to enter the Middle East market. As China's curtain wall power is embedded in the texture of Saudi Arabia's urban infrastructure, the story of China's construction going global is shifting from a solo show by giants to a collective appearance across the entire industry chain.Editor/Gao Xue
