SACE SIMEST, the export and internationalization hub of the CDP Group, together with Intesa Sanpaolo Group, has supported the engineering and contracting firm PEG, Progetti Europa & Global S.p.A., in acquiring an important contract at Garraf, in southern Iraq.

“We are very proud of this initiative because it was finalized in partnership with a global player like China Petroleum Engineering & Construction Corporation," declared Paolo Trocca, chairman of PEG. “We believe that this was a result of the venture taken in 2012 to gain a strategic physical presence in the region thanks to our Dubai subsidiary and Iraqi branch. It is essential, especially in a complex market like Iraq, to be close to the principal international oil companies and to the Petroleum Ministry, which have operational offices in Baghdad and Basra.”
