About Us
Bitutrade Industrial Co.LLC.

OVERVIEW & HISTORY

Bitumen is a precious material, that is very widely used in civil engineering. The description of Bitumen as ‘mankind's oldest engineering material’ can be supported by a considerable amount of evidence from scholars.Nearly 3000 years BC the Sumerians in Mesopotamia used Bitumen to fasten into the eye sockets of statues the materials such as ivory or mother-of-pearl pieces that represented the eyes. They also sculptured votive offerings out of a mixture of Bitumen and clay. Nowadays there are more than 250 known uses of Bitumen.

 

Bitutrade Industrial Co. LLC (BIC) specializes in the manufacturing of all grades and kinds of Bitumen bituminous liquid products are used mainly for two segments, the first one is for waterproofing works in construction and maintenance of buildings, the second is for asphalt pavement applications.
