Tratos Wins Baghdad Refinery Cable Contract

Tratos has been awarded a €1 million contract to supply Iraq's state-owned Midland Refineries Company (MRC) with cables for installation at the Daura Refinery in Baghdad. A range of power cables, high temperature cables and fire resistant cables have been supplied to MRC, a new customer for Tratos, as part of the modernisation process of the Refinery.

The Daura refinery, located in the south of Baghdad, was constructed in 1953 and started operations in 1955. It daily produces 3 million liters of gasoline, 1.5 million liters of kerosene and 2 million litres of gas oil, along with other products going to local power plants and industrial use.

Tratos Cavi has been producing cables for use in the oil and gas industry throughout its 40-year history. The cables are manufactured to all the relevant American, British and European standards including BS6883, NEK 606 & UKOOA.
