Our Story

A major role in Iraq's manufacturing industry

Shmoukh Al Az Company, one of 16 companies under Hajar Group, was established to play a major role in Iraq's manufacturing industry, particularly in the production of construction materials.

In light of the country's ongoing reconstruction efforts, the substantial government budget, and the relative stability in Iraq, the company has decided to invest in one of the key raw materials for the electricity and telecommunications sectors: copper rods.

Our first major milestone is a Public-Private Partnership with the Iraqi Central Government for a new copper recycling plant in Fallujah, near Baghdad, processing scrap into approximately 30,000 metric tons of FRHC copper rods annually.

Our Plant

An industrial facility engineered for scale

The Copper Recycling Plant is built on a plot measuring 50,000 m², including approximately 14,000 m² of covered area housing the main production equipment, located within an industrial zone in Fallujah.

The plant is designed to produce approximately 100 metric tons per day of 8 mm copper rods with a minimum purity of 99.90%, in compliance with EN 1977:1998 (CW005A) and ASTM B-49 standards.

The site includes allocated infrastructure to support future expansion, including a Low Voltage (LV) and Medium Voltage (MV) cable manufacturing plant as a second development phase.
