Kulankadyr Shaimanovich is a native of the legendary village of Karsakpay, where in 1928 the first Kazakhstani blister copper was produced at a local plant. Young Kulankadyr came to the plant right after leaving school. Where else? Father Shaiman Edilbaevich, who passed the front roads of the Great Patriotic War, was here the head of the machine shop. He gave advice to go to the plant. As a child, Kulankadyr often visited the plant. And so I came to work. Of course, there was a great desire to join the team, recalls Kulankadyr Shaimanovich. He started as an apprentice turner of the mechanical section of the foundry and mechanical workshop, the fourth category. We met the newcomer warmly in the team. At the plant, both then and now - a friendly team, notes Kulankadyr Shaimanovich. Then he went to the army. He served as a senior machine gunner in Chelyabinsk. He returned to his native plant. He graduated from the Karaganda Polytechnic Institute with a degree in Foundry Machines and Technologies. He worked as a foreman, site manager, chief engineer of the plant. And since 2005 he has been working as the head of the production and technical department. The Edilbaevs are the famous dynasty of the Karsakpay plant.

For 42 years, the plant has become a second home for me, says the veteran. - Now our main production is iron casting. Poured up to 1000 tons per year. Now it is about 250 tons. The number of applications has decreased. Hope for the best. Kulankadyr Shaimanovich is the father of six daughters and a son. The eldest daughter is 33 years old, and the youngest is 9 years old.

These people make up the gold fund of the enterprise. At the Karsakpay Metallurgical Plant, one such worker is Kulankadyr Edilbaev, a member of the Kasipkorgan trade union. "The victory at the regional stage of the" Enbekzholy "competition is a great honor for me. The plant employs 180 people, and choosing the best one is a difficult task. We all try to work conscientiously. The fate of the plant worries me. I wonder how the company develops, what innovations are introduced over the years, the plant has become a second home for me. And my main and first mentor is the deceased director of the Karsakpay metallurgical plant Kadyr Matkenov. He played a role in the fact that after graduating from the institute I stayed in Karsakpay. He raised us all And the people of Karsakpay are grateful to him for that. ”A mentor is the main role model for subsequent generations of metallurgists.
