President Shavkat Mirziyoyev visited the “Yangi Avlod” special industrial zone located in the Yangikhayot district of the capital and got acquainted with the activities of the enterprise for the production of aluminum containers and bottling of 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 the President's decree of March 20, 2024. It is distinguished by its modern production infrastructure, convenient logistics, and generous incentives for investors.

One of the zone's promising projects is the “East Can Solutions” enterprise, which has created a complex for the production of aluminum containers and the bottling of soft drinks. The President familiarized himself with the products and prospects of the project, after which its implementation was launched.

The enterprise occupies an area of 21 hectares, and the cost of the project is $90 million, mainly from foreign investment.

The complex is one of the few enterprises of this kind in Central Asia and is equipped with modern equipment manufactured in the United States, Great Britain, Italy, and Germany. All production processes are fully digitized.

Production capacity will be increased in stages. The first stage will see the production of 600 million units of aluminum containers per year, the second stage will see 1,1 billion units, and the third stage will see 2,2 billion units. This will not only fully satisfy the needs of the domestic market, but also enable the export of competitive products at the regional level.

The implementation of the project will replace imports worth $60 million and provide export potential of $20 million. The level of localisation of production will reach 90 per cent. Once the enterprise reaches full capacity, 500 new jobs will be created and significant tax revenues will start to flow into the budget.

The Head of State was also presented with information on the progress of work in the “Yangi Avlod” industrial zone itself. Officials reported on its development strategy, measures to introduce localization, digitalization, and energy-saving technologies.

To date, 58 projects with a total value of $1,2 billion are being implemented in the zone in areas such as the food industry, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, chemistry, and the production of building materials.

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 production.
