Great attention is paid to the environmental component of the project. The company is one of the most environmentally friendly enterprises in the world.  The practical gas purification system installed at the plant has no analogs in the world and provides a high degree of air purification, up to 99.8%.

“An important aspect, especially at the present time, is that the share of Kazakhstan’s content in finished products is 100%.  Having signed long-term contracts,  domestic enterprises supply all the raw materials for the enterprise. We are doing everything possible to ensure uninterrupted supply of products, and pay high attention to the safety of our employees.” - said Yerlan Nigmatulin, the shareholder of the Karaganda Ferroalloy Plant YDD Corporation LLP.

Despite the current opening of the plant which took place only in July 2019, we already managed to enter the world markets by exporting high-quality products. In a short time, the company reached the TOP-5 of the world's largest producers of ferrosilicon.

 “Today, we carefully monitor the supply chain, each time increasing the geography of export of finished products.  In fact, our practical products are 100% export-oriented and meet the highest international quality requirements. Our products are exported Japan, South Korea, Turkey, the USA, European countries, the UAE, Colombia, Israel, etc.”  - said David Kemertelidze, the shareholder of the company.
