Our goal is to support and develop the domestic machine building industry, consolidate consumers and manufacturers of machine building products.
Our mission: To bring the domestic machine-building industry to a competitive and export-oriented level.
Every year the AKMI holds the Forum of Machine Builders of Kazakhstan and the international specialized exhibition Kazakhstan Machinery Fair with the participation of international experts
The Association of Kazakhstan Machinery Industry was established in order to consolidate domestic enterprises for the effective development of the country's machine-building industry, assist in solving systemic problems of the industry, establish cooperation between enterprises, represent their interests in interaction with government agencies and other organizations, participate in efforts to improve legislation, regulatory sphere and technical regulation, participate in the work of experts and workers groups, commissions, as well as performing other functions, contributing to the successful operation of domestic machine-building enterprises
Cooperative relations with 11 foreign machine-building associations in Europe, Asia and South America have been established
The production volume in the mechanical engineering sector has shown steady growth since 2015. While in 2015 the figure stood at only 668 million tenge, by 2024 it had reached a historic peak of 4,835 million tenge, increasing more than sevenfold over the nine-year period.
Key trends:
- Steady growth was observed in 2015–2021, with annual increases ranging from 10% to 30%.
- In 2022–2023, the industry reached a new level: production volumes exceeded 3 trillion tenge, and in 2023 – more than 4 trillion tenge.
- 2024 became a record year: production volume reached 4.8 trillion tenge, confirming the high demand for mechanical engineering products.
- In January–July 2025, production volume amounted to 2.85 trillion tenge, which is 22% higher than in the same period of 2024 (2.33 trillion tenge). This indicates positive dynamics and suggests that by the end of 2025, the industry may surpass last year’s results.
- In 2015–2019, the volume of investments remained at the level of 50–60 billion tenge.
- In 2020, the first significant surge was recorded – 74.3 billion tenge, after which the figures stayed above 60 billion tenge.
- In 2023, a new growth stage began: the volume of investments reached 115.7 billion tenge, almost twice as much as a year earlier.
- 2024 became a record year for the entire observed decade – 290.7 billion tenge, which is more than 2.5 times higher than the 2023 level.
- In 2025, the positive trend continues: in January–July alone, 163.1 billion tenge was invested, almost twice the level of the same period in 2024 (85.6 billion tenge).
For January-March 2021, the volume of exports of engineering products of Kazakhstan, amounted to 277.1 million U.S. dollars. In January-March 2021, the volume of exports of engineering products of Kazakhstan amounted to 277.1 million USD, and decreased by 11.9% compared to the same period last year (January-March 2020 - 247.7 million USD).
In January-March 2021, the machinery industry saw a 2.2-fold increase in exports of lead batteries, a 12% increase in exports of fittings other, however, exports of vehicles with internal combustion engine with spark ignition and reciprocating piston movement decreased by 75.4%, bogies and axles for railway transport by 44.6%, bearings with cylindrical rollers by 37.5%.

Currently, the Association unites about 700 participants — domestic machine-building enterprises, specialized associations and national companies.
On the initiative and with the direct participation of the Association, the comprehensive plan for the development of the machine–building industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2024-2028 was adopted (approved by the Government Decree No. 991 dated November 7, 2023) was adopted for implementation
The of Kazakhstan Machinery Industry is open for new members to join it. Enterprises can join the Association as participants with the right to a decisive vote or as associated participants with the right to an advisory vote
