Henkel intends to develop production in Kazakhstan

       At the Ministry of Industry and Construction of the Republic of Kazakhstan, a meeting took place between the Chairman of the Industry Committee, Azamat Panbaev, and the CEO of Henkel for the Central Asian and Caucasus regions, Mikhail Yershov.

        During the meeting, M. Yershov reported on the completion of the process of transferring the office of the Central Asian and Caucasus regions to Kazakhstan and shared the company's plans for business development in our country.

        Henkel actively operates in nine countries of the Eurasian region – Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Mongolia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Georgia. The history of cooperation with Kazakhstan began in 2006.       

       The complexity of production and logistical chains has prompted the company to consider optimizing production in the Eurasian space. The company already has two manufacturing facilities in the region: a factory in Kunayev (formerly Kapshagai) and a facility near Tbilisi in Georgia, which produces Metylan and Ceresit.

        Currently, other possibilities for localizing production are being explored to be closer to the consumer, while the company intends to continue investing in the expansion of construction mix production in Kazakhstan.

        At the end of the negotiations, both sides expressed their appreciation to each other for the constructive, effective dialogue and emphasized the importance of developing bilateral relations.
