Al-Burhan Group (ABG) and renowned steel producer Thyssenkrupp have signed a contract with the Iraqi Republic Railway (IRR) to supply the latter with 15,000 tons of rail bar. The deal shows that Iraq is keen on plans to develop its transport sector and commercial cooperation with global companies.

The contract was signed by IRR General Director Rafi Abbas and Mario Serafidis, Thyssenkrupp International Sales Director, at Al-Burhan Centre in Baghdad yesterday. The deal is a sequel to the first contract between the two which involved the supply of 30,000 tons rail bar to the growing IRR.

The government of Iraq has great plans for a railway expansion programme so as to meet the increasing needs of the population and national industrial sector. The delivery of these rail shipments will undoubtedly help the prospects of expansion and building new railways across Iraq achievable.

By delivering such rail bars ABG confirms its dynamic role in boosting industrial business in Iraq and adds a new event to its distinguished history as a company supplying quality railway equipment and spare parts to the Iraqi Government and its Ministries.
