    Five new high-value added production projects to be launched in Pavlodar region

    Pavlodar region is expecting the launch of five projects for the production of high-value added products. The regional akimat (administration) announced the details.

    Earlier, Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov instructed his deputy Roman Sklyar to hold talks with the owners of all large industrial enterprises and submit specific plans for the creation of new high-value added production facilities in the near future.

    In response to an inquiry from the editorial board, the akimat of Pavlodar region reported that five projects with a total cost of 130 billion tenge will be implemented in the region in such sectors as construction industry, mechanical engineering, and petrochemistry. The projects will create 905 jobs.

    In particular, the launch of two facilities with foreign participation is planned for this year. The project “Organization of mechanical processing of surfaces of products of various purposes in metallurgy, mechanical engineering and power engineering” with a cost of 7.2 billion tenge is under construction and installation works in the region. It is being implemented with the participation of a Russian company. The project is expected to produce 8.7 thousand products per year. It can create 60 jobs.

    An investor from Turkey will help to launch the production of aluminum sheet and foil. It is noted that the construction of the enterprise will start in March this year. The supply of equipment is also expected during this period. The launch of the project is estimated at 8 billion tenge. The capacity is 18 thousand tons per year, and the number of jobs is 70. Aluminum sheets are in demand in the aviation and automotive industries, construction industry, food industry, and in the global market for the production of household appliances.

    Next year, a Kazakh company plans to organize a mechanical processing site. The launch will cost 5.8 billion tenge. The capacity is 40.2 thousand units of wheel-tire products per year, or 4.02 thousand units of deformation tools.

    A forging and tire complex is under construction in the region for 78.5 billion tenge. The enterprise may start operating in 2026. It will produce 54 thousand units of rough tires and 27 thousand units of gear blanks per year.

    In the same year, it is planned to open a plant for the production of alkylate for 30.29 billion tenge. It is expected that 110 thousand tons of raw materials (butane-butylene fraction) will be processed here and 92 thousand tons of finished products will be produced per year.

  • The new government of the Republic of Kazakhstan sets tasks for the development of high value-added production

    The new government of the Republic of Kazakhstan sets tasks for the development of high value-added production

    Large Kazakh industrial enterprises will need to develop roadmaps for establishing new high-value production facilities. The new Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Olzhas Bektenov, issued this instruction during an extended government meeting.

    According to the press service of the Cabinet of Ministers, in the near future, First Deputy Prime Minister Roman Sklyar will conduct negotiations with the heads of significant production facilities in the republic. Primarily, mining companies will be confronted with the challenge of producing high-value-added products.

    This directive aligns with the message of the head of state, “Economic Course of a Fair Kazakhstan.” Last fall, the president emphasized that the country should establish distinct industrial clusters. Kassym-Jomart Tokayev proposed giving priority to the deep processing of metals, coal, oil and gas chemistry, uranium conversion and enrichment, heavy engineering, and so on.

    Another directive from the Prime Minister concerns the utilization of domestic raw materials in the manufacturing industry. According to Mr Bektenov, industrial giants must significantly increase the procurement of domestic goods, services, and works.

    In 2024, the manufacturing industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan intends to implement a total of 180 investment projects worth 1.5 trillion tenge.

    A delegation of state authorities, led by First Deputy Prime Minister Roman Sklyar, paid a visit to the Bestobe deposit. The purpose of the visit was to oversee the ongoing efforts to resume underground mining operations, as outlined in the developed roadmap.

    According to the latest reports, the process of pumping water out of the mine has been in progress since August 21 of this year. As of now, a substantial amount of 225,000 cubic meters of water has been successfully removed from the mine. It is estimated that approximately 1.3 million cubic meters of water still remain to be pumped out.

    A dedicated team of 417 individuals has been diligently working on this task. Additionally, every effort is being made to secure alternative employment opportunities for the mine’s employees during this period.

    With the significant progress made thus far, it is expected that the mine’s operations will resume in the near future. The Ministry of Industry and Infrastructure Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan is closely monitoring this matter, ensuring its special supervision.
