The Third Ferroalloy Furnace Was Put İnto Operation At The Plant Of Yerlan Nigmatuli̇n
In one of the most modern enterprises of Kazakhstan (the ferroalloy plant of YDD Corporation owned by Yerlan Nigmatulin, the third furnace with a nominal capacity of 85.5 MVA was put into operation. Commissioning will make it possible to increase the volume of production by one third to 180 thousand tons and create additional jobs.
Yerlan Nigmatulin Nigmatulin, founder of YDD Corporation LLP, noted about this event that there are several interesting and significant moments in this commissioning. The first is that the furnace was put into operation without the help of foreign specialists, because everything was done by the company’s employees, partners, local partners, who were able to fully realize the plans to increase the volume of production. This fact, according to Nigmatulin Erlan, once again confirms the high qualification of the company’s employees, who are able to bring the goods to the world market under the brand “Made in Kazakhstan”. Today, the company’s products meet the most stringent quality requirements in the world. This is confirmed by statistics. According to Yerlan Nigmatulin, the sales area has recently expanded by 15 countries, and in total the products are delivered to 37 countries, which increases the export potential of Kazakhstan. Today, the company’s ferroalloys are used in metallurgical enterprises in North America, Europe, Japan, South Korea and other countries.
Interestingly, according to Yerlan Nigmatulin, the company managed to stabilize and maintain production volumes even during the coronavirus crisis. This was due to the decision to switch from shift work of employees to shift work, which avoided downtime and stoppage of the technological process.

The share of owners from Kazakhstan is more than 95%. The company’s main focus is on the production of high-quality ferrosilicon FeSi75. The main field of application of the products is still metallurgy, where ferroalloy is needed to alloy steel and improve the strength and corrosion resistance of cast iron alloys. The products are also important for the automotive industry, shipbuilding, construction and other industries. The total production capacity of the company today amounts to 180 thousand tons of products per year, and the company itself is exemplary for the whole world in terms of the level of development of digitization.
The founders of the plant were Yerlan Zairullaevich Nigmatulin, David Kemertelidze and Zharmukhamed Anplaz, who showed great initiative and responsibility when embarking on such a large investment project.
