A new enterprise is being prepared for operation in the Kagan district of Bukhara region, which will be the first in Uzbekistan to produce chemical additives for road construction. Until now, all necessary products in the country were fully imported from abroad.
Project Details and Investments
Discussions on the implementation of this project took place during an online meeting between the General Consul of Uzbekistan in Vladivostok, Khajiakbar Vakhabov, and the investor of the company Master Innovation, Jasur Dhumayev, who operates in Primorsky Krai. The meeting covered issues regarding the progress of the facility construction, achieved results, and plans for production start.
The factory construction is being carried out with the participation of investors from Uzbekistan and South Korea. The total investment in the project amounts to 15 million dollars. The South Korean firm Ezcon is participating as a project partner.
Production and Prospects
The new plant is planned to produce chemical additives of the D110 grade. These additives are intended to strengthen the durability of both cement concrete products and asphalt concrete mixtures used in building roads and airfields. In June, the enterprise already conducted tests and produced the first 10 tons of this product.
After reaching full production capacity, the plant will supply the domestic market with its own goods, which will reduce dependence on imports. Furthermore, the creation of approximately 45–50 new jobs is expected. In the future, the company intends to expand sales markets by exporting products to neighboring countries such as Tajikistan and Afghanistan.
