A ceremony was held on 5 April to commemorate the start of work to build the KamaTyresKZ tyre factory in Saran, Kazakhstan. The plant, a joint venture between Russia’s Tatneft Group and the Kazakhstan-based AllurGroup, is being set up at a cost of US$284 million. Construction is scheduled to be complete in 2022 and the facility will be capable of producing 3 million passenger car tyres as well as 500,000 solid steel cord tyres a year.
The event was attended by Askar Mamin, Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Rustam Minnikhanov, President of the Republic of Tatarstan, Nail Maganov, general director of Tatneft, Andrey Lavrentyev, chairman of the Board of Directors of the Allur Group of Companies and Alik Aidarbayev, chairman of the Management Board of NC KazMunayGas.
The new factory will employ more than 1,100 people by 2025. The partners intend to export around 40 per cent of the tyres that KamaTyresKZ makes, with the remainder sold in the domestic market, including as original equipment fitments. AllurGroup is a shareholder of SaryarkaAvtoProm, the largest car manufacturer in Kazakhstan, and an official distributor, manufacturer and dealer of the JAC, Ankai, Chevrolet, KIA, AvtoVAZ, UAZ and MAN brands in Kazakhstan.
