A regional service and engineering center for pumping equipment is planned to be opened in Alatau by German company Wilo. President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and Oliver Hermes, President and CEO of Wilo Group, discussed this at a meeting. The new facility will build on the company’s operations in Kazakhstan. Wilo’s production complex is already operating in the Almaty region. The company now intends to deepen localization by increasing the share of Kazakhstan’s components and expanding its network of domestic suppliers. At the same time, Wilo plans to cooperate with local engineering companies and universities. The priorities include training specialists, developing service capabilities, and introducing digital solutions.
«Kazakhstan is all the time very innovative as a young country, what you have in these big economies, not that much like in Kazakhstan, you can do very quick things. So, it’s also our slogan pioneering. So, we learn a lot in Kazakhstan, because we can do a lot of new things, and they are also a kind of role model for us,» noted Jens Dallendoerfer, Regional CEO, Wilo AMEA.
Another German company, D.A.R. Metall AG, is interested in new joint projects with Kazakhstan’s Qarmet. President Tokayev discussed prospects for cooperation with Chairman of the Board of the company Christian Artner. The talks focused on introducing German technologies and developing production projects. D.A.R. Metall AG is also considering taking part in the processing of municipal and industrial waste in the Alatau city.
