Large-diameter corrugated pipes will be produced in the special economic zone "Saryarka" in the Karaganda region. There is no similar production in Kazakhstan. The launch of the enterprise is planned in the spring. In addition, geomembrane production is expanding at the FEZ.

Thirteen projects are under implementation. 760 jobs have been created. The volume of investments amounted to 110.6 billion tenge.

LITEYSHIK enterprise will produce corrugated polymer pipes and polyethylene products. According to the director of the company Alexander Ivanov, the new production will provide 50 jobs.

– We have an operating production facility. We manufacture pipe products with a diameter of 500 mm. In this workshop we will launch two lines for the production of pipes with a diameter of 1200 mm. There is no such production in Kazakhstan yet, we will be the first. In the future, we plan to build another workshop," Alexander Ivanov said.

The products are in demand, they will be used for laying communications during the construction of new neighborhoods, replacing old sewer networks.

The geomembrane plant started operating last year. The products are used in the construction of tailings dumps, sludge drains, ore accumulators, artificial ponds and animal burial grounds.
