Meanwhile, it is planned that the production capacity of the new
enterprise will reach up to 500,000 units per year – including
installation systems and other components. The products will be
targeted both at the domestic market of Kazakhstan and for export
to Central Asian countries.

“The total volume of investment will amount to around 70 million
euros. The project’s implementation will create about 300 new jobs
in the region,” the statement says.

In the course of the meeting, Nurtleu noted that Kazakhstan
places special importance on attracting leading global companies to
the country’s regions. He emphasized that the government would
provide comprehensive support for the project, which will become a
driver of industrial development and strengthen the export
potential of the Kyzylorda region.

In turn, Magrans stressed that the company views Kazakhstan as a
strategic platform for business development in Central Asia.
According to him, the country has a favorable industrial and
logistical position, and its business-friendly environment makes
Kazakhstan a logical choice for expanding their presence.

Roca Group is one of the world leaders in the sanitary ware
industry. The company operates 78 factories and employs over 20,000
people worldwide.
