Germany-based Grenzebach and IRQGYP, an Iraqi gypsum producer, have signed a contract for the delivery of a gypsum calcining system with a capacity of 25t/hr, along with a gypsum wallboard production line rated at 3000m²/hr. This new gypsum calcining system will form a central part of the project, which involves establishing an Iraq gypsum wallboard plant. The agreement was signed during the Global Gypsum Conference 2025 in Amsterdam.

The plant will be located in Mosul, Iraq with commissioning planned for the summer of 2027. The Iraq gypsum wallboard plant will be the first collaboration between IRQGYP and Grenzebach, a milestone that both sides view as the beginning of a productive and enduring partnership. Moreover, by installing a modern gypsum calcining system, the project is positioned to set new standards for quality and efficiency.

With this investment, IRQGYP is expanding its production capacity and strengthening its position in the regional gypsum market using a state-of-the-art gypsum calcining system. The new Iraq gypsum wallboard plant is expected to support the growing demand for construction materials in Iraq.

Grenzebach will supply key process technology for calcining and wallboard production at the Iraq gypsum wallboard plant, supporting efficient and reliable plant operation. In fact, the integration of a gypsum calcining system is expected to ensure optimal performance and drive innovation. Additionally, this Iraq gypsum wallboard plant aims to boost the gypsum industry in the region.
