Cement Trading

Galiawa offers a range of advanced cements to suit every possible project.

Profile

The sales and distribution of cement has been the backbone of Galiawa for over 40 years. The Group started out with only 10 trucks transporting cement in a small region of Kurdistan in 1983 and now, we have transportation services from the northernmost point of Iraq all the way to the South.  Our efficient and streamlined service, made possible by our 245-truck fleet of high-tech trucks and storage capacity of our factories, has enabled us to separate ourselves from our competitors and become one of the largest distributors of cement in the country. Our long-standing relationship with cement leaders such as Lafarge, Mass and KAR, has given us the ability to move no less than 8.5 million tons of cement in 2019.
