Today, the country's first factory for the production of full-cycle industrial batteries has opened in the Zhetisu region. These batteries, produced with the help of advanced modern technologies, are widely used in the oil and gas, mining, telecommunications, energy, railway, as well as as a source of uninterrupted energy in the "green" energy sector, in particular, for storing electricity from solar and wind power plants. 40% of the products produced at the plant will be directed to the domestic market, and 60% will be exported, the press service of the akim of the Zhetisu region reports.
Speaking with a welcoming speech, akim of the region Beibit Isabayev said:
- Today we are opening a new plant – Asma Industrial LLP, which has no analogues in Kazakhstan. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that full-cycle industrial batteries will be produced here, which are widely used in various industries. The implementation of this investment project is an important event for the region. For our part, we have provided all the necessary state support. Engineering networks in the amount of 260 million tenge were supplied at the expense of the local budget. We hope that the company will strengthen its status as an innovative leader in its field and achieve high results in the implementation of the task set by the Head of State to promote production policy," B. Isabayev said.
According to the director of the plant Serikbai Azhmagambetov, the cost of the project is 8.5 billion tenge. The capacity of the enterprise is 210 thousand pieces of industrial batteries per year. When production reaches full capacity, the number of jobs will reach 180, thanks to which the local population will be provided with stable work. At the same time, some of the products will be exported, and some will be sold on the domestic market.
- We started working on this project in 2021. I thank all those who helped and supported us from the very beginning. The staff of our company is young, it is just being formed, and the necessary personnel are being recruited. Most of our specialists have many years of experience in this industry. And we will train young specialists in the process of work. There is already a demand for our products, agreements are being concluded with large companies," S. Azhmagambetov said.
Among those employed at the new plant is Taldykorgan Dastan Kanatkanov. He now works as the head of a lead plate foundry.
- I have been working in the manufacturing sector for about 10 years. There is no such plant in Kazakhstan, so it is very important for me to work at this unique enterprise, continuing my professional development. Our factory uses Korean production technology, and the batteries produced are used in particularly complex industries – mining, railway, and telecommunications. Large manufacturing enterprises are the most important basis for the development of any region. That is, there will be more tax revenues to the budget, thereby improving the infrastructure in the region, creating the necessary conditions for the population, such as roads, water, electricity, gas and, of course, new jobs. Therefore, I hope that this new plant will make a great contribution to the development of the region," he said.
It should be noted that 549 enterprises operate in the industrial production of the Zhetisu region, of which 14 are large, 13 are medium-sized, employing more than 30 thousand people.
For 10 months of 2024, with an increase of 3.9%, industrial products worth 278.8 billion tenge were produced in the region.
