The company was specially visited today by Executive Vice President of KIA Corporation Jong Junchul, who oversees all production facilities of the company worldwide.The visit of the first executive Vice president of KIA Corporation to Kostanay region emphasized the importance of this stage: he personally checked the readiness of the enterprise.The plant was built in record time: construction began in the fall of 2023. KIA Corporation has financed 117 billion tenge into the plant, which makes it one of the largest investments of foreign capital outside South Korea in the automotive industry. The total investment in the project amounted to 131.5 billion tenge."This is the largest foreign production in the history of the region. Thanks to the support of the President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and the well—coordinated work of all structures, the plant was built in just one and a half years," said Akim of Kostanay region Kumar Aksakalov.At the state level, the project was provided with a complete infrastructure: roads, railway tracks, networks.The launch of a new production facility is not only large-scale in terms of investments, but also in terms of social impact. Over 1,500 jobs are being created at the first stage. This is the largest simultaneous job creation project, which will significantly strengthen the labor market in the region and open up new prospects for young Kostanay residents.Additionally, a Localization center is being built near the car factory, which will provide employment for another 800 people. The localization center will produce seats, mufflers and plastic parts.It is noteworthy that many processes at the new plant are automated and robotic.The plant is equipped with advanced automated lines, which makes it one of the most modern in the region. 67 robots are already involved.Personnel training for such high-tech production was conducted jointly with the Korean Dong-Eui University and the local regional university named after A.Baitursynov, as well as colleges, which allowed us to create a team of professionals already at the launch stage. The emphasis is on local personnel."When we were considering where to invest in Central Asia, our choice fell on Kazakhstan, a country located in the heart of Eurasia. This is an important and strategically significant project for KIA," said Mr. Jong Jooncheol, Executive Vice President of KIA Corporation. - Thanks to the strong support from the Kazakh side, especially in terms of infrastructure - not only the plant, but also the localization center - we were able to implement the project on time.We are currently working to resolve the issues of selecting suppliers of automotive components so that key parts can be produced directly here in Kazakhstan. We are confident in the future of this project and intend to develop a long-term partnership with Kazakhstan and Kostanay region. I would like to express my special gratitude for the professionalism of the local staff — we are really impressed by the level of training of Kostanay specialists."Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanay/press/news/details/1037237?lang=kk

Металлургия остается основным драйвером обрабатывающей промышленности Казахстана, занимая долю в 40,1%. Итоги первого полугодия и перспективы дальнейшего роста отрасли обсудили на заседании штаба по обеспечению экономического роста под председательством вице-премьера – министра национальной экономики Серика Жумангарина.Сохранять высокие темпы роста в металлургии является непростой задачей: в 2024 г. отрасль достигла рекордного за последние 10 лет прироста – 6,9%. На сегодняшний день производственные мощности предприятий загружены на 90-100%, что ограничивает возможности дальнейшего увеличения объемов.Несмотря на высокую базу прошлого года, по итогам первого полугодия 2025-го в металлургической промышленности индекс физического объема вырос на 0,1%. Для повышения темпов роста отрасли разработана и реализуется специальная дорожная карта. По словам вице-министра промышленности и строительства Олжаса Сапарбекова, уже достигнут ряд промежуточных целей документа.В частности, завершены восстановительные работы на руднике «Жомарт», увеличены объемы поставок цинкового концентрата с Актюбинской медной компании на предприятия «Казцинк». Группа KAZ Minerals поставила крупные партии медного концентрата на отечественные заводы. Это позволит существенно увеличить объем его переработки внутри страны до конца года. Серик Жумангарин поручил отраслевому министерству совместно с акиматами регионов, где расположены ключевые металлургические предприятия, оперативно проработать проблемные вопросы с руководителями производств для обеспечения устойчивого экономического роста.https://primeminister.kz/ru/news/metallurgiya-obespechivaet-bolee-40-obema-obrabatyvayushchey-promyshlennosti-kazakhstana-30297 Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1036874?lang=kk
