Group Overview

Seven integrated businesses, one unified industrial vision.

Since 2012, Wataniya Group has assembled a vertically integrated industrial portfolio spanning oil & gas, cement, power generation, steel, contracting, and trading. Headquartered in Sulaymaniyah with hubs in Baghdad and Dubai, our subsidiaries operate as a coordinated ecosystem — each anchoring a critical link in Iraq's national supply chain. We own the upstream, refine the midstream, and deliver the downstream so that capital, talent, and capacity compound inside the country.

The Group's posture is deliberate: we own the upstream, refine the midstream, and deliver the downstream so that capital, talent, and capacity compound inside the country. The chapters below introduce that ecosystem — the entities, the sectors, and the strategic doctrine that shape what we build next.

From the refinery in Sulaymaniyah to the steel mill outside Baghdad and the Dubai trading desk, every Wataniya operation is engineered to feed the next. Read on to meet the seven subsidiaries, the six sectors they cover, and the executive doctrine that ties them into a single industrial backbone.

Executive Insight

Building the Backbone

Wataniya Group industrial operations

"Our strategy is not merely to construct facilities, but to engineer the foundations of regional prosperity. Every refinery, every steel mill, every power grid is a link in a sovereign chain."

The Refinery Rollout

At the heart of Wataniya Group's mission lies a tactical commitment to infrastructural self-sufficiency. As global energy markets evolve, the necessity for a localised, vertically integrated industrial ecosystem has never been more critical. We are no longer observing the development of nations; we are the architects of the systems that sustain them.

The upcoming Phase III expansion of our refining infrastructure represents a shift in technical capability. By integrating advanced hydrocracking units and carbon-capture technology, we are not only increasing throughput by 40% but setting the regional benchmark for environmental accountability. This is the new standard of 'Sourced Authority' — where industrial power meets ecological responsibility.

Strategic Goal

Building Sustainable Growth Across Iraq

Infrastructure is the backbone of the economy. By controlling the production of cement, steel, and power, Wataniya Group ensures that the very materials used to build the nation are forged under our precise standards. This forecasted independence protects our subsidiaries from market volatility and ensures that our project timelines remain unwavering.

Beyond the balance sheet — how the Group measures its work.
