Martin Engineering Opens Business Unit in KazakhstanMartin Engineering Opens Business Unit in Kazakhstan

A world leader in bulk handling solutions, Martin Engineering has expanded in Central Asia with a new business unit in Kazakhstan.

Based in Almaty, the country’s largest city and commercial center, in the South East of Kazakhstan, the new location will be a regional hub enabling Martin to bring its full range of products and services to the fast-growing mining sector across Central Asia.

With about a million square miles, Kazakhstan is the world's ninth-largest country by land area and has a diverse geology comprising a rich array of metal ores and mineral resources. Mining and minerals production is playing an increasingly important role in the Kazakh economy with most materials exported.

Building on Previous Success

The decision to establish a business unit in Kazakhstan builds on the Martin Engineering’s previous success in the country, including delivering conveyor belt cleaning solutions to one of Kazakhstan’s largest copper producers to maximize plant efficiency and productivity.

Now Kazakhstan’s mining and mineral processing companies have access to a broader portfolio of conveyor products, such as Martin’s CleanScrape belt cleaners, versatile Orion SQC2S secondary belt cleaner, and high-performance air cannons featuring Smart series nozzles to ensure optimal material flow.

Kazakh customers can also benefit from faster service response times, improved supply chain logistics, and new product trials, as well as enhanced problem-solving services like Walk The Belt and tailor-made Foundations training for in-house maintenance teams.

The new business will be led by general manager Oleg Glukhov, who has worked with Martin Engineering for the past seven years. He says Martin is well placed to support Kazakhstan’s leading minerals processing firms to improve operational performance and safety. “Kazakhstan is one of the world’s key sources of metals and industrial minerals,” he said. “Processing materials safely, efficiently, and profitably is important, and that’s where Martin Engineering comes in. Our market-leading products and services are proven to solve materials handling challenges for the world’s biggest mining and minerals companies.”

Martin Engineering’s equipment delivers cleaner, safer, and more productive bulk materials processing. The company holds dozens of patents for engineering designs that have improved workplace safety and production efficiency in foundation sectors like mining, steel, cement, and fertilizer production.
