Samsung equipment began to be produced in the Karaganda region

In Saran, Karaganda region, the Silk Road Electronics household appliance factory has officially launched the production of televisions and washing machines under the Samsung brand. This year, 17 models of washing machines and 21 models of televisions are planned to be produced here.

The launch became possible with the cooperation of the Government of Kazakhstan, the Akimat of the Karaganda region and Samsung.

— Today we see the result of our President's strategic course on attracting investments. There are new technologies and opportunities for our residents to find work. I want to thank everyone who invested their efforts, knowledge and time in the implementation of this project," said Akim of Karaganda region Ermaganbet Bulekpayev.

Samsung's factory—made washing machines are equipped with innovative features and support for the SmartThings ecosystem - users will be able to control them remotely and receive tips on optimal washing.

In parallel, the release of high-resolution TVs was launched: Crystal UHD 4K, FHD and HD. All models have Smart TV support, vivid images, access to streaming platforms, and compatibility with smart home systems. The launch of production of QLED TVs is in the near future.

— Samsung has been doing business in Kazakhstan since the 90s, and the launch of this production was the first in the country. The company has big plans for the future. Samsung headquarters representatives from the Korean office accompany the process and ensure quality control, which will continue until the company reaches full capacity," said Eugene Chun, President of Samsung Electronics Central Eurasia.

The production lines are equipped with modern equipment and operate according to Samsung quality standards, which guarantees the reliability and durability of products.

The project was made possible thanks to the economic reforms in the country carried out by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and the improvement of the investment climate. Kazakhstan is strengthening cooperation with Korea and creating conditions for the localization of high-tech industries.

— Now Kazakhstanis will be able to use Samsung equipment manufactured on our land. This is a contribution to the industrial development of the country and improving the quality of life," said Alexander Kritskiy, Director of the Silk Road Electronics plant.

The project was implemented with the support of the Industrial Development Fund and became an important step in expanding the Kazakh-Korean partnership.
