On April 8th, Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev inspected the ADM Jizzakh automobile plant where he was shown the new Kia Sonet, hot off the production line.
Established in 2021 with investments of 234 million US dollars and the creation of 1.8 thousand jobs, ADM Jizzakh has assembled 36 thousand cars for Kia, Chery, and Haval over the past three years.
The plant was recently expanded and furnished with cutting-edge technology, including 30 robots, imported from South Korea, Japan, and Germany. Operational since March, the upgraded facilities will provide the plant with a capacity to produce 100 thousand cars per annum.
In addition to investing in equipment, the plant has also initiated a scheme to develop and maintain quality control. This year, specialists from South Korea, India, China, and Vietnam will spend time on site training employees and fifty of the plant’s engineers will receive advanced training in research and design centres in South Korea and China.
Further to his visit, the president issued instructions for the plant to increase its production to 348 types of components between 2024-2027.
