Desert-lion General Trading Company

A Few Words About Us

Bringing international fashion brands to Iraq, Desert-lion is one of the biggest retail and distribution companies in the country. With brands such as Levis, CAT and Merrell, we are constantly striving to stand out in the Iraqi marketplace. With over 34 outlets currently operating, and many more locations in the pipeline, there is sure to be a Desert-lion store near you. We pay great respect to the many boundaries that cover the country and are one of the few businesses in Iraq which can enjoy such widespread presence. Trust is important to us, and safety is paramount, so we have a security team to keep our staff and shoppers worry-free in our fully stocked stores. We are audited both internally and externally by one of the biggest accounting agencies in the world, Ernst& Young. They keep all our financial files up to date and check for discrepancies, helping us to build a brand you can have faith in. That doesn’t mean that we don’t take measured risks. Desert-lion was the very first Iraqi business to invest in SAP Business One, at a cost of $300,000. The system has been very beneficial to the company, and we have employed several IT staff to ensure it always runs smoothly and efficiently. Our money is also put to the greater good, as we help under-privileged citizens in the country as our way of giving back to the community.
