The Head of State was briefed that the plant is to manufacture 210,000 batteries per year with a creation of up to 180 jobs as it reaches its full capacity. The plant seeks to export 60% of its products to the CIS and Baltic countries and supply the remaining 40% to the domestic market. It’s expected that the plant will pay over 500 million tenge to the budget in tax after one year of operation.
The plant is to ensure its raw materials come largely from Kazakhstani enterprises, in particular lead from Kazzinc, sulfuric acid from Kazatomprom, while importing polypropylene separators from China.
In his conversation with the plant’s team, Tokayev highlighted the importance of supporting the manufacturing sector.
We believe it’s important to make Kazakhstan a country with developed production sector. Special attention is paid to Zhetysu region, which holds strategic significance, said the President.
