Home / UK office
Our UK office: Larsa International
Larsa International in Manchester is Shadin's UK office. It sources, inspects and ships British and European equipment for our projects in Iraq, and is the first point of contact for international clients and manufacturers.
Why a UK office
A European supply chain with a Basra delivery team
International operators in Iraq specify British and European equipment, and they expect a supplier who can work to their standards, in their language and their time zone. Our UK office gives clients that, while our Basra teams deliver on site.
For manufacturers, Larsa is a single contact for the Iraqi market: one company that understands the specifications, the documents Iraqi customs require, and the operators who buy.
