Founders' Story

Sheikh Abdulkareem Al-Khirbit

FOUNDER

The late Sheikh Abdulkareem Al-Khirbit, the founder of the Al-Khirbit Group, had the vision to offer an unparalleled opportunity to create and deliver a legacy that generations will remember. He recognized that it is a truly historic opportunity for the country, for the region and for the world. His vision was to retain effective Iraqi Engineers and labor workforce gainfully employed, not just for one project but throughout their lives. By teaming up with International contractors, he created the opportunity to share and gain knowledge and experience by the Iraqi contractors.
His vision became a reality as Iraqi contractors were able to contribute in many fields including bridges, tunnels, and Airports all over Iraq. He put to good use being a Sheikh to foster an excellent relation with all tribes, clans, and well-known local figures. By doing so, he earned the respect of all tribes’ Sheikhs, and enabled him to work all over Iraq . Sheikh Abdulkareem Al-Khirbit name has become a trademark for high quality, commitment and timely completion of construction works in Iraq, and with our business partners all over the world. We believe that the only way to pay tribute to his legacy is to continue in his footsteps by continuously adding value to our works and perform our corporate responsibility to our society regardless of the locations.
