AboutWataniya Group
An integrated industrial group building Iraq's next era — engineered around energy, infrastructure, and the future of construction across the region.
Architecting the future of industry.
The Wataniya Group, founded in 2012, is a diversified industrial conglomerate with a strong focus on Energy, Infrastructure, and Construction. Headquartered in Sulaymaniyah, the Group operates major projects across Iraq and the UAE, with a current capital of IQD 24 billion.
Together, these foundations support a single, integrated industrial engine — one that connects energy, materials, and large-scale construction into a continuous regional value chain. Every subsidiary advances the same mission: to build, refine, and deliver at the scale the region's next era demands.
A message from our CEO.
For more than a decade, Wataniya Group has been building the industrial foundation that our country needs: refineries, power plants, cement production lines, and construction capabilities that together form a single, integrated engine for progress.
What sets us apart is not the scale of any one project, but the discipline with which we connect them. Energy supports materials, materials support infrastructure, and infrastructure supports the next generation of national investment.
Our people are the driving force behind our achievements and success.

A heritage of building, refining, and producing at the scale our region needs.

Every facility we run inherits decades of Iraqi industrial tradition — and carries it forward.
That conviction continues to define every decision we make and every investment we pursue, anchoring the Group's growth in the same disciplined craft that built its earliest projects.
