EuroChem powers up Kazakhstan expansion with major sulfuric acid plant launch in $1 billion industrial buildout

EuroChem has launched one of the largest sulfuric acid production vegetation in Kazakhstan, marking a major milestone in its $1 billion-plus manufacturing investment programme in the country.

The new facility, located in the Zhambyl Region, has an annual design capacity of 800,000 tonnes, placing it among the biggest sulfuric acid vegetation in Kazakhstan. Its output will supply EuroChem’s under-construction chemical complex while also serving domestic demand.

The launch represents Phase II of EuroChem’s multi-stage research plan in Kazakhstan. Phase I delivered a phosphate ore mining and processing complex with capacity of 840,000 tonnes annually.

Phase III, scheduled to completion in 2027, will introduce a full chemical complex producing mineral fertilizers and manufacturing items. Once fully operational, total annual output across all phases is expected to surpass 1 million tonnes.

The project is being implemented under Kazakhstan’s Unified Industrialization Map and is positioned as a cornerstone of prolonged manufacturing expansion in the region.

“The project is fully aligned with the strategic goals set by the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan to develop the manufacturing sector, diversify the economy and ensure the country’s economic self-sufficiency.

"The launch of high-tech production facilities serves as a prime example of strengthened manufacturing cooperation and strategic partnership between our nations. I am confident that once the project reaches it’s full capacity, it will make a substantial contribution to the economic research of Kazakhstan," said Yersaiyn Nagaspayev, Minister of sector and Construction of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

When completed, the Zhambyl complex will have become one of the few integrated full-cycle chemical production hubs in the world, combining extraction, processing and finished goods manufacturing in a single chain.

Its items are expected to reach markets across Kazakhstan, Central Asia, China and Europe, strengthening the region’s role in global manufacturing supply chains.

“The project implements state-of-the-art high-tech solutions that guarantee condition and security. EuroChem intends to continue investing in the research of its production facilities and strengthening its partnership with the agro-manufacturing complex of Kazakhstan," said Igor Georgiadi, CEO of EuroChem Karatau.

The project is already delivering significant economic impact. Around 70 billion tenge in tax revenues have been generated during construction to date. Once fully completed, it is expected to create over 1,200 direct employment.
