OPENING AND AWARDS CEREMONY

Akzhan Isaev, Turkuaz Machinery:

There are currently 11 companies and have 22 regional offices in the Turkuaz group of companies. As always, we exhibited at two stands – in the pavilion, and the outside are. We have exhibited at MiningWorld Central Asia for seven years now, and we always see results. Here, we meet many existing and new clients - our participation is an excellent opportunity to meet and discuss future plans and new prospects for cooperation.

Ruslan Asylbekov, Gateway Central Asia:

We are presenting four areas at the stand: compressors, generators, pneumatic tools and lifting equipment from Ingersoll Rand. The second department is presenting hydraulics, hoses and wicks, the third one large tyres for the mining industry, and the fourth one pumps. Our company has taken part in the exhibition for ten years, and we are grateful to the organisers for this opportunity.

Samat Sarsengaliev, Invensys:

Invensys is presenting the Dynsim programmes for dynamic modelling and the Eyesim training systems. Thanks to a unified solution developed especially for the mining and milling industry, operators at management centres or on-site can make a considerable contribution to improving production figures.

We are taking part in MiningWorld Central Asia for the first time, and our aim was to show that we are in the Kazakhstani market in mining and metallurgy. During the exhibition, we negotiated with a large number of companies and gave three presentations at our stand for major companies. We are very happy with our participation in the exhibition!

Stewart Assay and Environmental Laboratories LLC:

We enjoyed our visit because interesting companies were presented at the exhibition, many of which are our clients. We found new partners alongside existing ones. We offer laboratory services to international and Kazakhstani companies and we analyse geological and environmental samples.

Openheimer Asia:

Our company provides services to mining and metallurgical companies around Kazakhstan. We came to the exhibition to see new materials, which we easily found, and we will work with producers in the future. We also renewed old partnerships and found new ones. We liked the informative seminars, which we happily took part in, very much. We would like to thank the organisers for agreeing for us to come from Karaganda to MiningWorld Central Asia.
