The company Ansa Silicon plans to build a plant for the production of technical silicon with a capacity of 35 thousand tons of products per year. The project cost is over 40 billion tenge, commissioning is scheduled for 2023. About 400 new jobs will be created. The products will be exported to the USA, Japan and the countries of the European Union. The Head of Government visited enterprises for the production of railway wheels (Prommashkomplekt LLP), railway axles and wheelsets (RWS Wheelset), reinforced concrete sleepers and beams (RWS Concrete), fasteners – elastic clips, bolts and screws (FerroTransTrade). The export volume is 70-80% of the production. A new impetus to the development of railway engineering in Kazakhstan will be given by the implementation in the city of Ekibastuz of the project for the construction of a forging and bandage complex of Railcast Systems LLP with the participation of investors from Germany and the Russian Federation. Production capacity – 102 thousand rough tires for locomotives, blanks for large gear wheels and forged products per year.
