In 1985 we started to establish a small factory for the production of plastic bottles and machines for their manufacture in Iraq, and we entered the local markets and we had success in the markets despite the lack of our production.
In late 1991, we established a simple company called Khalaf Al-Ekaili & Brothers Co. and we started expanding the work and moving forward to achieve continuous success.
In 1998, Khalaf Al-Ekaili & Bros. Company became under the name of Al-Mazen Plastic Co. Ltd. We added production lines of injection machines and machines for producing nylon bags, and the company then became among the numbered companies in Iraq.
And when increasing the production lines and the diversity of production, the company's sales multiplied within the local markets, and we obtained a few contracts with the state at the time, including vegetable oils, the Samarra pharmaceutical company, the public facility of Al-Qaqaa at the time, and in the private sector field Al-Badawi Food Products Company and a company Baghdad Detergent Co., Ltd. and other factories and large and small companies.
And in 2005 we replaced all production lines to modern machines in their model and we are the first to introduce PET blowing machines to Iraq and this step is the first step in Iraq by us towards developing Iraqi industrial products.
And after that we entered machines for producing ampoules as well as machines for producing polyethylene bottles. In 2014 the company developed and we opened a new project in the name of Anwar Al-Sharqiya Plastic Factory Co. for the production of household utensils (Disposable), as this project was the first of its kind in Iraq and still is so.
And then in 2020 we added a new project to produce the food roller Cling film & Ice Cream Cup (IML) & Bucket and the products of our company are still the Eastern lights company is the only products of its kind in Iraq within the industrial sector and the Eastern lights company is considered a complement to the Mazen company.
