For almost five decades now, we have been operating in the Middle East region and have been able to gain a foothold in various industries by establishing numerous subsidiary companies. We can refer with pride to our significant contribution to the Iraqi economy as one of the most dynamic group of companies in the Iraqi market. We have been able to grow into indispensable industrial companies within a short period of time, for which we need to thank our strong partners and our committed team. Ambition, commitment to values, richness of ideas and concepts, and the mobilization of our entire resources have proven to be a recipe for success and should also form the pillars of our commitment in the future. We keep moving further into a promising future to set new benchmarks in success. As a chief executive, my job is to make sure that we are meeting the needs of our customers. We build our company in an effective and an efficient way, looking for a long term customer value. Our constant attention towards consumers’ needs is at the foundation of our company policy, inspired by maximum transparency and excellence in quality. Every challenge is an opportunity for learning, a chance to test our capabilities and knowledge. Competition always make you stronger and better.
