ASTANA, Kazakhstan, November 6. KMG PetroChem
and Italian Maire Tecnimont have reached an agreement to enhance
cooperation with Kazakh industry associations aimed at
systematically developing local content and supporting domestic
enterprises within the Gas Separation Complex (GSC) project,
Trend reports.
The decision was made during a working meeting held at Maire
Tecnimont’s headquarters in Milan, attended by KMG PetroChem’s
delegation led by Chairman of the Management Board Diaz Diyanov,
representatives of industry associations, and the Maire Tecnimont
project team.
The discussions focused on the progress of the GSC project,
increasing local content, and specific steps to integrate Kazakh
companies into the engineering and production chain.
“Developing local content is one of KMG PetroChem’s key
priorities. At this stage of the project, it is crucial to build
close cooperation between the EPC contractor and industry
associations to ensure sustainable participation of Kazakh
enterprises in the implementation of the GSC project,” said
Diyanov.
In August 2025, KMG PetroChem signed an EPC (Engineering,
Procurement, and Construction) contract with Tecnimont S.p.A.
(Italy) in consortium with Consolidated Contractors International
Company (CCIC, Lebanon) for the construction of a Gas Separation
Complex in Kazakhstan. The project includes full design,
