Kufan offers a range of Pre-fabricated services within Iraq and across the Middle East. Our various business units include:
Light Galvanized Steel (LGS) Technology
In 2015, Kufan Group invested in The Light Gauge Steel Technology (LGS), using FrameCad Inc, computerized machines.
LGS technology was firstly introduced by Kufan in Southern Iraq. With our long track experience in construction and our trained personnel, this technology has added a great record of success to Kufan in quality and delivery.
Our specialised factory is mobile and can be installed at your work site. Our Field Fabrication Yard can be useful to reducing transportation costs of fabricated units.
