ALMATY, Kazakhstan (TCA) — Turkish investors have completed the second phase of the project for production of high-quality fittings for PVC and aluminum systems in Kazakhstan’s Almaty region.

“Kazakh Invest is actively involved in attracting new investors. At the same time, the company pays great attention to reinvestments. Launch and consequent expansion of such investment projects demonstrates Kazakhstan’s favorable investment climate. To stimulate reinvestments, we help companies solve their problems,” said Daria Ovsyannikova, the deputy regional director of Kazakh Invest.
