OUR ORIGINS

Rooted in Iraq’s Legacy of Trade

Our story began in Iraq — the cradle of civilization and a timeless hub of commerce. In the 1980s, our CEO, Mr. Hameed Mukhlif, established his International Trading Company with a clear vision: to connect global food suppliers with the Iraqi market.

From that foundation grew a powerful trading legacy, built on trust, resilience, and an enduring commitment to excellence.
