Avro Company, in brief

Avro Company is an Iraqi contractor headquartered in Erbil and founded in 2004, with registered entities in the Netherlands and the United Arab Emirates. It delivers engineering and construction, security and force protection, armoured and soft-skin vehicle rental, machinery rental, specialist sourcing and supply chain, catering under its KURDA brand, airport CIP services, camps and life support, waste management, manpower, legal services and internet connectivity to embassies, defence contingents, oil and gas operators and international organisations across the Kurdistan Region and federal Iraq.

Arriving in Iraq usually means qualifying ten suppliers. Avro replaces them with one contract, one audit trail and one team that already knows the bases, the borders and the ministries.
