The Association of Kazakhstan Machinery Industry held its 48th online meeting with regional representatives and industry partners. During the meeting, participants discussed current issues related to the development of the domestic machine-building industry and the expansion of industrial cooperation, and presented the production capabilities of Kazakhstani enterprises.
Miras Baltabaev, Head of Sales at Astana Weighing Plant LLP, gave a presentation on the products manufactured by the plant and the services it provides for the repair and maintenance of weighing equipment.
Astana Weighing Plant is a domestic manufacturer and the official representative of ZEMIC USA INC, HBM, and CAS Corporation in the Republic of Kazakhstan. One of the company’s key priorities is supplying the market with high-quality weighing equipment adapted to Kazakhstan’s climatic conditions.
The company has been operating in the market for over 16 years, providing a full range of services for the production, modernization, and sale of weighing equipment, and is among the industry leaders in Kazakhstan and the CIS countries.
It has been noted that over the years, 328 companies have signed contracts for the supply of industrial scales and maintenance services. The plant is authorized to calibrate mass measuring instruments, which allows for the rapid completion of government certification of the equipment. Production is carried out using high-tech equipment and a quality management system in accordance with the ISO 9001 standard; only new metal is used, and a lifetime warranty is provided for products manufactured in-house.
The company’s partners include Kazakhstan Railways, KazZinc, KazMunayGas, PZTM, the Locomotive Assembly Plant, and other major industrial enterprises.
During the meeting, Association members once again expressed concern over the planned introduction of the Register of Kazakhstani Manufacturers starting January 1, 2026. According to enterprise representatives, the system currently contains a number of unresolved issues and is not ready for practical implementation. Consequently, there is a risk of restricting domestic manufacturers’ participation in government procurement, a possible suspension of production processes, and the placement of employees on forced leave without pay.
At the conclusion of the meeting, Arman Galimov, Deputy Director of the Executive Directorate of the Association of Kazakhstan Machinery Industry, briefly reported on the results of the Association’s work over the past week.
