An official launch of a new production of flexible containers for storing grain crops, building materials and ore has taken place in Petropavlovsk today.
The enterprise implements a full production cycle: from the manufacture of threads to sewing fabric on weaving machines. 180 permanent jobs have been created. The enterprise will produce up to 1.5 million big bags per year.
1.5 billion tenge were invested in this project. The business idea of making big bags was realized thanks to the support of the state. Investors were provided with soft loans and engineering infrastructure.
A year ago, that room was empty. Today, already on the weaving machines, the goods demanded on the market are produced. For the third year in a row, work has been underway in the region to restore empty premises and open new production facilities. The total area of vacant premises was 300 thousand square meters. New production facilities have already been launched on 109 thousand square meters. New projects are being implemented for another 92 thousand square meters. Work is underway for the remaining 100 thousand square meters, the search for investors continues.
“We are now developing the regional economy in different directions. For the full development of the economy, one agricultural sector is not enough. Therefore, by opening new plants and factories, we are significantly diversifying our economy. We launched a plant of metal-plastic products and a factory for household chemicals, the production of thermos cars. A laminated plywood factory will be opened one of these days,” — the akim of North Kazakhstan region Kumar Aksakalov said during the launch of the new enterprise.
Reconstruction of buildings for the German concern "CLAAS" and the electrical plant for the production of transformers is also underway.
