From 17th to 19th of October Almaty hosts the largest forum of cement producers in the CIS. The event is intended to be an important milestone in establishing links between companies in different countries, which is especially important for Kazakhstan, whose economy showed signs of overcoming the recession. According to the organizers of the conference from Russia, Kazakhstan today has gained the image of a strong, peaceful, dynamically developing state. The climate of economic optimism creates favorable conditions for the rapid development of the building complex, the introduction of new cement industry projects. Astana and Almaty are the leading consumers of cement and other building materials. Modern refineries, which are put annually in operation, demonstrate the high dynamics of development of the cement industry in Kazakhstan.

"Production of building materials is included in the list of 14 priority sectors of the industry for financing. The Chamber of entrepreneurs is ready to provide support to both domestic producers and foreign investors interested in the production of materials for the construction industry, including cement.

According to the President of Kazakhstani Association of Building Materials Industry, a member of the Regional Council of the Chamber of Entrepreneurs of Almaty Maral Tompiev, Kazakhstan is on the verge of technological revival. "Now in the country there are 13 cement plants of complete cycle with a total design capacity of more than 10 million tons per year. 6 of them - are large plants based on energy-saving dry process production. From 1998 to 2014 cement production in Kazakhstan increased by 13 times. The main consumers of the material - are Astana, Akmola region and Almaty. The high rate of industrialization of the country, construction of new roads, public facilities and housing requires the opening of new factories for the production of cement and concrete. So, in the coming years Kazakhstan plans to put into operation several cement plants with a total capacity of more than 4 million tons per year ", - said Maral Tompiev.

To date, the need of the republic in the cement is 14 million tons per year. With the implementation of the program of industrial-innovative development of Kazakhstan for 2015-2019 years, the total design capacity of construction companies reached 16.5 million tons of cement per year. And then Kazakhstan can shift from being the importer to an exporter of demanded building materials.
