In the course of the meeting, the parties discussed a project to establish a plant in the Karaganda region for the production of conveyor rollers for belt conveyors, primarily serving the coal, mining, and construction industries. The launch of production is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026.

The investment volume is estimated at $5 million, with plans to create new jobs and establish a foundation for exporting products to EAEU countries and Central Asia.
