Why Erbil needs custom preforms
Capital of the Kurdistan Region, with its own oil sector and a busy construction and trading economy. Water, soft-drink, juice and edible-oil bottlers blow preforms into bottles on site, which saves most of the freight cost of shipping empty bottles.
Iraq holds some of the world's largest oil reserves and is rebuilding power, water and housing infrastructure after years of conflict. Umm Qasr near Basra is the main seaport, with northern cargo often routed through Turkey.
