Chairman Speech

A message from our Chairman.

John Doe, Chairman, Wataniya GroupChairman, Wataniya Group

For more than a decade, Wataniya Group has been building the industrial foundation our country needs — refineries, power plants, cement 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; infrastructure supports the next generation of national investment.

We don't measure progress by what we build, but by what our work enables others to build next.

07 — Our Heritage

Built on a national legacy.

A heritage grounded in Iraqi industrial tradition — refining, building, and producing at scale across decades of national progress.

Heritage · Iraqi Industry

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

From our earliest refinery operations in Sulaymaniyah to today's integrated portfolio of cement, steel, power, and construction, every project has carried forward the same belief — that national progress is built through industry, and industry is built through partnership.

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.
