GKN Contractors Ltd of Redditch, in joint venture with Ross Poultry Ltd, has won a contract with the Republic of Iraq worth £21.5 million for the design, supply, construction and commissioning of three poultry slaughterhouses for the Ministry of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform.
The slaughterhouses will be among the largest and most modern in the Middle East.
GKN Contractors will act as the main contractor and Ross Poultry, through Imperial Foods International Technical Services, will provide the process know-how.
The contract is the second major success for GKN Contractors in Iraq in the last few months following a £6 million order for the construction of three cold stores and will be a boost for the company's branch office which was recently opened in Baghdad.
