Engineered to handle extreme field environments, mechanical stress, and thermal requirements
Iraq is currently undergoing one of the most significant periods of structural rehabilitation and industrial modernization in its history. This economic pivot spans heavy infrastructure reconstruction, the revitalization of oil and natural gas fields, downstream energy conversion installations, and extensive water distribution grids. The demands of these large-scale projects require high-performance materials capable of maintaining structural and operational integrity under challenging field conditions. Key operational environments include the high-salinity plains of Basra, the heavy-oil reservoirs in Kirkuk, and the demanding conditions of industrial sites in Baghdad and Erbil.
Advanced magnetic assemblies—particularly sintered NdFeB (Neodymium-Iron-Boron) systems integrated with steel, brass, and protective polymers—are key components in this industrial overhaul. The extraction of oil and gas from mature fields requires downhole recovery solutions that must reliably extract lost drilling bits, tools, and ferrous debris from boreholes thousands of meters deep. In these situations, heavy-duty fishing magnets and high-capacity lifting blocks are essential to prevent costly operational downtime.
Additionally, Iraq’s electrical grid reconstruction relies on custom-engineered permanent magnet rotors and stator assemblies for localized power generation and regional industrial motors. As the country moves toward domestic cement, fertilizer, and metal processing, magnetic separation assemblies are crucial to protecting manufacturing machinery from metal contamination.
Operating magnetic systems in Iraq presents specific environmental challenges. Summer ambient temperatures regularly exceed 50°C, and closed mechanical enclosures can reach operational temperatures of up to 100°C. Standard commercial magnets often suffer irreversible demagnetization under these conditions.
To address these conditions, Zhejiang Laysun Magnetics Ltd. manufactures custom configurations using advanced high-coercivity grades (SH, UH, EH, and AH series). These materials are designed to resist thermal degradation at operating temperatures of up to 220°C. They are combined with multi-layer surface coatings (Ni-Cu-Ni, Black Epoxy, and Polyurethane encapsulation) to prevent corrosion from hydrogen sulfide (H2S), high-salinity groundwater, and desert dust.
Our Manufacturing Footprint Supporting Heavy Industry Globally and in the Middle East
The global market for high-performance rare earth magnetic materials is driven by structural shifts in electromobility (EV traction motors), clean energy (wind turbine generators), and factory automation. As global demand for dysprosium (Dy) and terbium (Tb)—critical heavy rare earth additives used for thermal stabilization in NdFeB magnets—increases, securing a reliable supply chain becomes a key challenge for industrial operators.
For importing enterprises in Iraq, sourcing materials involves navigating these global market pressures alongside localized logistics, regulatory, and environmental challenges. Many regional buyers face difficulties with suppliers who do not account for the shipping requirements and customs procedures needed to clear products through key entry points like the Port of Umm Qasr or Baghdad International Airport.
Transporting large magnetic assemblies requires specialized logistics management. Unshielded magnetic fields can disrupt aviation navigation equipment and shipping containers. Zhejiang Laysun Magnetics Ltd. addresses this by using specialized sheet metal shielding and custom wooden casing to ensure that our shipments comply with IATA regulations for air transport and international maritime shipping codes.
To support regulatory compliance, our products are shipped with comprehensive quality documentation. This includes material certificates, magnetic flux mapping, salt spray testing reports, and conformity documentation aligned with Iraq’s Central Organization for Standardization and Quality Control (COSQC) requirements. This preparation helps to minimize customs clearance delays and ensure smooth delivery to project sites.
Our heavy-duty magnetic assemblies and fishing tools retrieve dropped components from downhole drilling systems, helping to minimize downtime in the Basra oilfields.
We supply high-coercivity NdFeB blocks and permanent magnet rotor components to support regional power generation and electrical grid modernization projects.
Our 1000KG-capacity permanent magnet lifters enable safe, grid-independent handling of steel plates and structural components at port terminals and fabrication sites.
Developing a magnetic assembly for challenging industrial applications involves more than simply magnetizing a block of material. The engineering process requires balancing mechanical, magnetic, and environmental variables:
Magnetic field simulation to optimize structural design
Sintering rare earth alloys to withstand high operating temperatures
Wire cutting and grinding to achieve tight mechanical tolerances
Corrosion-resistant coating application and magnetic pull testing
A full range of magnetic hooks, pot systems, and surface-protected assemblies designed for diverse industrial applications
At Zhejiang Laysun Magnetics Ltd., we maintain quality control protocols at our 100,000 m² manufacturing plant. Our production processes conform to international industrial and quality standards, ensuring our magnets are ready for use in critical infrastructure projects in Iraq.
Our manufacturing plants hold certifications for ISO 9001 (Quality Management System), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management System), and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety). For specialized oilfield and pressure system applications, our raw materials and manufactured assemblies comply with relevant quality metrics, enabling smooth custom clearances under international cargo standards.
ISO 9001 System Registration
ISO 14001 Environmental Compliance
ISO 45001 Safety Management
Every shipment undergoes rigorous factory testing before dispatch. This testing is performed using high-precision flux measuring devices, hysteresisgraphs, and environmental testing chambers (Salt Spray, Pressure Cooker Test - PCT). This ensures that each magnet assembly maintains its physical and magnetic performance under challenging local conditions, such as high thermal stress and corrosive environments.
Zhejiang Laysun Magnetics Ltd. provides logistics coordination to deliver magnetic systems directly to key industrial and commercial centers in Iraq.
We coordinate shipping to major industrial hubs, including Basra (handling oilfield extraction, marine port loading systems, and offshore engineering operations), Baghdad (supplying municipal infrastructure, food grade sorting systems, and local assembly plants), and Erbil (delivering building materials, manufacturing tools, and industrial lifting equipment).
Our team manages export documentation, including Certificate of Conformity (CoC) documents, raw material analysis reports, and safety declarations. This helps prevent delays at borders and port entry terminals such as Umm Qasr, Erbil, or Baghdad International Airport.
Our streamlined export routes cover key industrial sites, ports, and economic zones in Iraq.
