Irani’s expansion project portfolio to improve competitiveness, production capacity and energy sufficiency, which enables us for the next growing cycle.

Gaia symbolizes the Earth, nature.

It is exactly from this infinite and wise force, of which humanity is a part, that our motivation to grow comes. Our robust expansion plan, with projects developed between 2020 and 2026, is based on our deep commitment to sustainable development in its three spheres: economic, social and environmental.
