There are plans afoot to launch a new major project on the establishment of confectionery and pasta manufacturing in Uzbekistan.
Negotiations are currently underway with the headmost equipment manufacturers of Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, Austria and Italy. That would not just ensure the highest quality on the domestic market, but also allow competing with international manufacturers.
All equipment and technologies will be procured in Europe. Over a thousand new jobs will be created. To date, Uzbekistan has reached an agreement with the Kommunarka Company of Belarus. It is known for considerable experience and a long history in the production of chocolate and candy products, and has a strong commitment to provide technological support in the organization of confectionery production, where the whole range of goods will be purely an organic product that meets the consumer demand.
Representatives of companies are currently staying in Europe, conducting negotiations and presentations, seeking and involving foreign partners in the project on the establishment of a joint venture and drawing investments into the country’s economy. They are also negotiating with the leading banks of the republic on their possible participation in the project.
The new facility is anticipated to be the largest not only in Central Asia, but also on the CIS space. The first batch is expected for 2018.
