President Shavkat Mirziyoyev visited the Yangi Avlod special industrial zone, located in the Yangihayot district of the capital, and inspected the operations of a company producing aluminum containers and bottling beverages.
In recent years, Uzbekistan's industrial policy has reached a new level. The country is developing an economic growth model based on modern production facilities and international technological standards.
The Yangi Avlod special industrial zone was established in accordance with a presidential decree dated March 20, 2024. It boasts modern production infrastructure, convenient logistics, and extensive incentives for investors.
One of the zone's promising projects is the East Can Solutions enterprise, which has established a complex for producing aluminum containers and bottling soft drinks. The President inspected the project's products and prospects, after which its implementation was launched.
The facility covers 21 hectares, and the project cost is $90 million, primarily through foreign investment.
The complex is one of a few similar facilities in Central Asia and is equipped with modern equipment manufactured in the United States, Great Britain, Italy, and Germany. All production processes are fully digitalized.
Production capacity will be expanded in stages. The first stage is planned to produce 600 million aluminum containers per year, the second to 1.1 billion, and the third to 2.2 billion. This will not only fully meet the needs of the domestic market but also allow for the export of competitive products at the regional level.
The project will replace $60 million worth of imports and create an export potential of $20 million. The localization rate of production will reach 90 percent. Once the facility reaches full capacity, 500 new jobs will be created, and significant tax revenues will flow into the budget.
The head of state was also briefed on the progress of work at the Yangi Avlod industrial zone itself. Responsible officials reported on the zone's development strategy and measures to implement localization, digitalization, and energy-saving technologies.
Currently, 58 projects worth a total of $1.2 billion are being implemented in the zone in areas such as food processing, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, chemicals, and construction materials production.
The President was presented with 28 of the most significant initiatives, the implementation of which will create 7,600 new jobs.
It was noted that these projects will contribute not only to economic growth but also to social stability by creating new jobs, increasing export potential, and developing local industries.
