A Message from CEO

Dear Valued Partners,
Iraq’s logistics market is full of opportunity, but also full of challenges — from outdated infrastructure to sudden regulatory changes, and issues like smuggling and corruption. These obstacles often delay trade and increase costs for businesses.
At Arch Star, we believe the solution is clear: a trusted partner who understands Iraq’s realities and offers full, transparent, and technology-driven logistics services. From small parcels to large-scale shipments, we provide door-to-door solutions by air, land, and sea — ensuring every shipment reaches its destination safely, on time, and at the right cost.
Arch Star is committed to transforming these challenges into opportunities and to making logistics in Iraq reliable, modern, and efficient for all our clients.
