Almaty has built a new high-tech Japanese plant, which has no analogue in the CIS
Within the framework of the initiative "50 projects-drivers of Almaty’s development " in the city’s industrial zone, a technical opening of a new plant for the production of engineering protection systems of the transnational corporation "Tokyo Rope Manufacturing" took place. The enterprise has no analogue in the CIS and is introduced by Japanese investments.
The governor of the city Bauyrzhan Baibek noted that the launch of a high-tech plant is the realization of the instruction of the President of the country Nursultan Nazarbayev to attract foreign investments and create innovative production facilities on the territory of the republic.
The new enterprise has a unique equipment for the production of drill anchors, high-strength metal cables, steel zinc-coated grids for mining and quarrying. The plant's capacity is more than 17 thousand tons of steel products per year.
Chairman of the Board of Directors of Tokyo Rope Manufacturing Shigeto Tanaka noted that Almaty was the starting point for the spread of advanced Japanese technologies throughout the region.
"After the launch of the first phase of the project in 2016, the products of the Tokyo Rope Almaty plant are already being used in the CIS and the Persian Gulf, including the implementation of a major project in Saudi Arabia. The products of the plant localized in Almaty were also used to strengthen the riverbed of the Esentai River, the highway to the Big Almaty Lake, the Medeu-Shymbulak cable car and the Myң zhylky platinum. I am sure that the joint work carried out today will give impetus to the influx of new Japanese investments into Kazakhstan," Shigeto Tanaka said.
