KARAGANDA FOUNDRY AND MACHINE-BUILDING PLANT: A SYMBOL OF QUALITY AND RELIABILITY

In 1956, the plant was renamed the Karaganda Machine-Building Plant No. 2. The enterprise became the only one in the Kazakh SSR, where mining equipment was produced. Then the plant began to produce PBS buses (Pavlovsk Bus Plant) and electric tugs, built an oxygen shop, set up serial production of construction cranes and agricultural machinery, created a plant for the repair of mining equipment. However, the collapse of the USSR reduced almost all factory achievements to zero. 1999 was the year of revival for the Karaganda Foundry and Machine-Building Plant. Kazakhmys has ordered the company to manufacture equipment and spare parts. A year later, the plant became part of a large company. In 2000-2003, Kazakhmys allocated about 550 thousand dollars for the modernization of the machine park, improvement and strengthening of the material, technical and repair base of the plant. By 2005, the range of products manufactured by the company exceeded 3000 types. The plant started manufacturing suspensions and pins for BelAP (Belarusian Automobile Plant) vehicles of various carrying capacities, in parallel, the production of spare parts for an impressive list of imported high-performance self-propelled mining equipment appeared in the arsenal. The production of conveyors and complex equipment for the processing plant was mastered. The most important year for the plant was 2014: a large-scale modernization of the enterprise began. More than 12 billion tenge was spent on this project. As a result, the plant has changed beyond recognition: numerical control machines have replaced manual labor. This made it possible to automate all processes and increase production volumes. Along with the quantity, the quality of products has also increased, as well as the ability to make unique parts. Modernization took place without stopping production. And today the plant has become a symbol of quality and reliability and enters into contracts for huge sums with domestic and foreign partners. The range of products includes more than 7 thousand items. The main consumers are enterprises of the mining, metallurgical, processing and oilfield industries. Now the plant employs more than 800 people. In 2021 alone, the Karaganda Foundry and Machine-Building Plant produced finished products worth 12.4 billion tenge. The growth dynamics of third-party customers from 2019 to 2021 increased by 24.7 times. In 2021, contracts were concluded with third-party companies in the amount of 3.6 billion tenge.
