Over the past year, more than two thousand new business organizations were opened in Ust-Kamenogorsk alone. And on the occasion of Independence Day, a unique glass production was launched in the regional center, a Khabar 24 correspondent reports.

This is the first enterprise in the country and in the CIS, capable of providing consumers with the whole range of necessary services in their field. Moreover, not only industrial giants, but also the population will be able to use the products.

Ust-Kamenogorsk is the industrial center of Kazakhstan. Large enterprises form the basis of the economy of the entire region. But now it is important to simultaneously increase the volume of small and medium-sized businesses, experts say. Moreover, the sector has huge potential.

Zhaksylyk Omar, akim of Ust-Kamenogorsk:

- In the early years of Independence, there was not a single small and medium-sized business in the city. And over the years of Independence, it has increased by 30 thousand units. These are new jobs, these are new enterprises. This is an increase in tax revenue. Today, from 30 thousand small and medium, medium-sized businesses, we collect 32 billion tax. And this figure will grow. New enterprises are opening up in the city. Such as this glass production. Its uniqueness is that here the only ones in the CIS were able to arrange the production of various products in one place. This triplex for car windshields, and double-glazed windows, and now tempered glass. The new workshop with the most modern numerical equipment cost the plant 250 million tenge. And he earned thanks to concessional lending under the state program.

Konstantin Borodastov, director of the enterprise:

- In the last 5 years, we have built 3 buildings. I am sure that this would not have been possible if we had not received such tremendous support from the state! Support rate up to 80 percent. A small enterprise, like ours, could not have made such a powerful impetus in development by our own means for such a period! At the same time, the production of tempered glass products is so in demand in the region that a line of customers has already lined up. Interested in the products of the plant and industrial giants.

Yerzhan Mandiev, head of the automobile plant under construction:

- Of course, a good reserve of competencies is being created here, something that has not yet happened. There is tempered glass production in Kazakhstan. But this production allows the production of tempered glass, which is possible for use in the automotive industry. Since it implies the ability to ask him another form, not just even.

Andrey Lazarev, Executive Director of an industrial enterprise:

- We have a very large construction project in the Karaganda region. This is the construction of a new factory. The project is estimated at approximately $ 400 million. Therefore, of course, the products that this company manufactures are important to us. Plus, we constantly upgrade our facilities, repairs where glass is also required. And hardened is better than usual in that it simply crumbles under pressure. Without forming sharp fragments, and not injuring staff. For industrial facilities - this is the key to the safety of employees. In addition, the plant’s products are widely used in housing construction. This year, 47 multi-storey buildings with a total area of 346 thousand square meters are being built in the regional center alone.
