The New Time of AtyrauNefteMash
D. Slinko
The enterprises like people each have their own destiny. The history of the machine-building plant began in the first quarter of the last century when on the basis of mechanical workshops for servicing water and railway transport a new plant was formed which started to release equipment for oil fields. Nobody could predict then that in decades it will become a leading machine-building enterprise in the industry and the whole country. For a long period of time it had the name of the plant evacuated from Ukraine «The Plant Named after Petrovsky», and in 2000 received its present name - AtyrauNefteMash LLP.
With the acquisition of independence by Kazakhstan the new tasks were set before the enterprise. Rapid growth of oil production in the republic, development of new fields and arrival of investors with modern technologies demanded the release of new advanced equipment. The plant located almost in the center of Atyrau experienced big difficulties in its development. It became clear that it is needed to transfer production workshops to a new platform, and for three years the plant’s grandiose relocation was made. All necessary engineering communications were created and production and administrative buildings were built. Therefore, the year 2008 is counted by AtyrauNefteMash as a special date in its development. In three years, practically on the empty place, in the steppe, a new, advanced plant was established equipped with the latest equipment.
At the first stage, two workshops – blank production and mechanical-welding – as well as the warehouses, the administrative facility consisting of office building, hostel and technical unit, were put into operation. In several years, the railway dead-end siding with two branches was erected here allowing the plant to operatively ship and deliver products to the customers by rail through the whole territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Today, AtyrauNefteMash LLP is a well-known enterprise in the Kazakhstan market. The plant has well recommended itself in many branches of industry: oil and gas production and processing, construction and chemistry. It has experience in the turn-key deliveries of equipment meeting advanced requirements on safety and quality and produced under innovative technologies.
