Kazakhstan’s production cooperation with global auto industry brands continues to strengthen. Kazakh automobile company Allur signed an agreement to further expand production with General Motors
The joint work that began in 2020 has demonstrated outstanding results in the industry in a short period of time - one of the largest investors in mechanical engineering has been attracted to the country, new jobs have been created at the start, vocational training is being conducted, and the product of the Kostanay Chevrolet plant has firmly established itself as a leader within the republic and is in demand in export markets
“Cooperation with the General Motors team is of great and strategic importance for the development of the industrial potential of Kazakhstan. It is important to understand that we are talking not only about the production of products, but about the transfer of technologies and expert knowledge accumulated by our colleagues over many decades,” said First Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan Roman Sklyar
As part of a series of trilateral negotiations, the Kostanay Allur plant, in industrial cooperation with UzAutoSanoat, will complement the line of produced cars with the new Chevrolet Onix, which will be produced using the small-knot assembly (CKD) method with an annual volume of 30 units per year. To implement the project, investments of about $000 million will be attracted, which will expand production potential and provide Kazakhstanis with modern and affordable cars.
“Today, on behalf of General Motors, I would like to congratulate the government of Kazakhstan on the success of this joint work. I express my gratitude to Allur for its contribution to the development of industrial cooperation. In a very short time, together we managed to make the brand a leader in the Kazakhstan market,” said GM International President Shilpan Amin.
In the long-term plan for the development of joint work, the parties agreed on the possibility of updating and expanding the range of cars, based on the needs of sales markets and consumer demand. Mutually beneficial cooperation with GM has already put Kazakhstan on the map of the global automotive industry, which makes the country a more attractive platform for international investors.
