Ideally positioned to grow

Our operations in Kazakhstan mean we are ideally positioned to enjoy the growth opportunities of Central Asia, serve many of the world's largest markets and respond to customer demand. As a land rich in natural resources, strong transport links and substantial foreign investment, Kazakhstan provides us with every opportunity to grow.

Working within a promising economy

Kazakhstan is the ninth-largest country in the world and the second-largest country in the former Soviet Union. Since 1991, structural reforms have advanced its economy. This has led to stable year-on-year growth, over $120 billion of foreign direct investment, and the prestige of becoming the first former Soviet Union country to receive an investment-grade credit rating.

Operating from a position of strength

With over 61,000 employees and annual revenues representing over 2% of Kazakhstan's gross domestic product, Kazakhmys is among the country's largest and most influential companies. We are also one of Kazakhstan's biggest tax payers and a mainstay of the country's economy.

Bringing new life to the Silk Route

Kazakhmys has a central role in bringing new life to the Silk Route: an ancient network of trade routes stretching across Asia to the Mediterranean, Europe and Africa. Our transport operations closely follow the Silk Route, transporting our products throughout the region and beyond.
