They will purchase local products to feed their workers."On behalf of the President, we are monitoring and analyzing the implementation of Auyl Amanaty in the regions. In the Karaganda region, we met with entrepreneurs who, thanks to the loans provided, were able to open their own business. They are satisfied and plan to expand production. One of the key tasks remains the organization of product sales, and for this purpose memoranda were signed today. These two companies employ more than 63 thousand employees, and the cost of feeding workers is over 10 billion tenge. The memorandum should bring real results.

The Almaty production and trading company Stark Alpha has become one of the first in Kazakhstan to be approved for reimbursement of costs for the purchase of technological equipment. A new type of government incentive measures for industry began to take effect in May this year.Stark Alpha, which manufactures materials for double-glazed windows, received 28.3 million tenge from QazIndustry as a refund for the purchase of two Turkish automatic mixer mixers. They are designed for the production of polysulfide sealant, which is used in the production of double-glazed windows. Thanks to him, double-glazed windows are more durable. Now the process of mixing the components has become faster and more accurate. The new mixers regulate the temperature and time of the technological operation.The Almaty enterprise is the only manufacturer of two-component sealant for double-glazed windows in Kazakhstan. It was founded in 2011. It produces a sealant for double-glazed windows for both manual assembly and automated lines.Annually Stark Alpha produces more than 4,000 tons of products using raw materials from global manufacturers - Basf, Honeywell, Eastman, Ineos, Omiya. In addition, the plant is the official distributor of Nedex in Kazakhstan, selling components for double-glazed windows - molecular sieves and a remote frame.In addition to the domestic market, the company provides two-component sealant to the markets of Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Mongolia."We were pleasantly surprised when we learned that the state provides support to enterprises in the form of cost recovery. That is, the purchase of modern automatic mixer mixers cost the company 40 percent less. We used the funds reimbursed by QazIndustry to purchase raw materials for production," the company shared.Recall that on May 12, KCE began to reimburse part of the costs for the purchase of technological equipment. The historical period is two years, that is, the company can reimburse the costs of equipment purchased in the previous two years. QazIndustry reimburses 40% of the costs (but not more than 60 million tenge). Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mps/press/news/details/879802

Genuine humor, apt phrases and free jokes are all in the new production of the Stanislavsky Theater. Two days in a row, on November 9 and 10, the premiere of the play "Love for Three Oranges" will take place here. The main characters of the fairy tale for adults are masked characters from the Commedia dell'arte.The production is based on a satirical work by Russian theater and film actor Leonid Filatov. This is an original adaptation of the fairy tale play of the same name by the Italian playwright Carlo Gozzi, known for his imagination and wit.As Racha Mahataev, the director of the play and the artistic director of the Stanislavsky Theater, explained, the choice of this material is not accidental.– When I came here a year ago, there was an idea to create a multi-genre theater. So that the troupe touches different genres in one season. We have already staged the play "The Golden Cloud spent the Night", the documentary play "7", the classic drama "Profitable Place". Now it's time to swing the pendulum in a completely different direction – into the sharp and dynamic existence of the actor in the mask. What I like about this comedy is its audacity, the sharpness of its statements and the absence of false pathos," Racha Mahatayev noted.The play tells about a hypochondriac prince, who was cursed by an evil witch. The only hope for healing is to find three magic oranges. If the prince completes the task, he will find his destiny and be cured of the disease.The color of the play is given by bright characters in ugly masks who speak in verse. This story, despite its fabulousness, remains relevant today.The performances start at 17:00.The age limit is 16+.Photo by Anna StrokovaSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/karaganda/press/news/details/879408
