According to him, the construction was carried out at the expense of the company's own funds, the project cost is 75 million tenge.

The main potential suppliers of raw materials are: in Kazakhstan – the Aral deposit (quartz sand in the amount of 2,100 tons), in Uzbekistan – the Kungrad soda plant (soda ash in the amount of 750 tons and potash in the amount of 600 tons).

"The company has created 30 workers (to work in three shifts) and employees places. Some of the employees were hired from the directorate of an under construction, as well as an existing enterprise, from among the former employees of industrial enterprises of Shymkent. In the southern region of Kazakhstan, this is the first production line for the development of such products.
