People call me Kyzylbai — a nickname the city gave me, and I value it. I was born here and built my own factory here too.
I am forty. Half my life I have made things with my hands — first behind a counter, then on the shop floor. I still believe the most honest work is the kind you can touch.
I did not arrive in manufacturing through a neat presentation. I unloaded boxes, stood behind a counter, lost money and started over. Every machine in our workshop was bought with money earned, not money promised.
I want the things people use in Kazakhstan to be made in Kazakhstan. Not because it sounds good, but because then someone is accountable for them — and that someone lives in the next neighbourhood.
No polished legend. Just how it happened.
“Sometimes I get to the workshop before anyone else. Not because I distrust my people — I simply feel good there.”
If something is done badly, it is not a “department” or a contractor at fault. Customers have my phone number, and that is the best quality control I know.
Domestic manufacturing is not a slogan — it is jobs, taxes and a spare part that takes a day to arrive instead of six months.
There are almost no ready-made specialists on the market. We hire people who want to work and train them — it takes longer, but otherwise industry never appears in a country.
A playground stands for ten years. A computer case works for five. I am used to thinking in those terms, not in reporting periods.
Four divisions, several workshops and more than 5,000 m² of floor space — a full line from cutting the sheet to packing the finished product. One team behind all of it. Each division has its own page.
The first in the country to build cases in series. Our metal, our assemblies.
For schools, universities and meeting rooms: we deliver, mount, configure and train.
Courtyards, schools and parks: from sketch to installation by our own crew.
Our own development: an AI that runs the entire workshop cycle.
I do not like watching capable young people leave because “there is nothing here”. There is. It simply has to be built — workshop by workshop, courtyard by courtyard.
I do not promise quick change. I am good at long things: a factory that runs for ten years, and people who grow from apprentices into masters in that time.

Almaty is my home. A city that gives me the strength to build.
On the left, what is happening in the world: economics, the defence industry, markets. On the right, what is happening in our workshop.
Cutting, bending, painting and assembly now run as one line — lead times have almost halved.
We install, configure and train teachers on site — no middlemen.
Our AI calculates nesting, plans machine load and suggests deadlines.
I read everything myself. A production question, an idea for the city or just a conversation — write.
