Company Overview
Founded by Salih Karwanchi and followed by Abdulwahab Karwanchi, Karwanchi Group began its business journey in 1940 in Kirkuk city in the north of Iraq.
Karwanchi has traditionally focused on the food import and distributions, but invested to expand into the construction sector in the 1970 supplying cement that was required for the development of the infrastructure of the country at that period.
Alongside, the group continued to grow its focus on the food industry, launching ice cream and our plants in1982.
In 1999, Karwanchi launched soft drinks plants, re ecting the ambitions of the founding family to continue meeting the daily needs of the Iraqi families.
In 2007, Karwanchi business hit another milestone when it launched healthy water purifying and plants.
The group has grown from 250 employees to 2,500 employees -a ten-fold increase since it was founded.
Which goes hand-in-hand with the vigorous expansion of the product lines.
