During a working visit to the Atyrau region, Askhat Khassenov, Chairman of the Board of JSC NC KazMunayGas (KMG), visited the integrated gas chemical complex of Kazakhstan Petrochemical Industries Inc. (KPI), where he held a production meeting.
In the first six months of 2026, the plant produced over 207,000 tons of polypropylene, selling 193,000 tons of the product. Over 20,000 tons were shipped to the domestic market. The company's regional warehouses in Astana, Almaty, and Shymkent play a key role in this area, enabling it to minimize logistics costs and quickly respond to requests from Kazakhstani companies.
This positive trend is also reflected in the growing trust of domestic businesses—the total customer base of processors increased from 157 to 181 companies during this period.
The company is also consistently expanding its export geography. From January to June 2026, 91,400 tons of premium-quality polypropylene were shipped to the European market. In addition to Europe, KPI's target grades continue to be supplied to Turkey and Russia. Transitional (non-target) grades of polypropylene are shipped to China.
Currently, KPI has mastered the production of 15 polypropylene grades (compared to 13 grades in the first half of 2025), which are in demand in the production of packaging, construction materials, textiles, technical and household goods. Given growing demand, the company plans to expand its product range by introducing three more new grades focused on high-added-value products.
Following the meeting, the head of KMG tasked KPI management with ensuring sustainable production, ensuring high-quality preparation for extended intervals between repairs, further developing the product line, and entering new export markets.
