The group operates a number of world-class production facilities in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
Established in 2003, and enlisted in Qatar Exchange or Bourse four months later, its inception marked the first significant step in the long road of Qatar s industrial diversification program. Its first plant was inaugurated 5 years later, in 1973. Following this, in 1974, both QAPCO and Qatar Steel were incorporated.
Qatar Steel commenced production in 1978, with QAPCO starting 3 years later, in 1981. The youngest of the group companies, QAFAC, was incorporated relatively recently, in 1991, with commercial operations beginning in 1999.
IQ is still growing. Through "Vision 2010" IQ intends to complete a number of ambitious investment projects that will significantly increase the group s production capacity, expand the range of products sold and streamline our current production processes.
At an expected cost to IQ of about QR15 billion, these projects will nearly double our Total Assets.
