MENAFN - 19/11/2006


(MENAFN) According to reports, the Ministry of Industry and Minerals in Iraq has signed a contract with an Austrian firm for the supply of irrigation systems, Azzaman reported.

The $7.7 million contract will enable the ministry to produce sprinkler and drip systems inside the country.

In a statement, the company has begun implementing the first stage of the contract which includes the manufacture of metal pipes for the system.

However, the production is supervised by the State Company for Mechanical Industries which will shoulder the mass manufacturing of the systems and their shipment to dealers across the country.

It is worth mentioning that the contract will help the company focus on other urgent metal products already in high demand locally, including electrical posts which the company says it can now manufacture in huge quantities

signed without the FIL ?
