Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev visited the Kmita Polymers enterprise located in the Chirchik Chemical Industrial Technopark, the presidential press service said.

The enterprise was established in cooperation with the Russian company Polymers and specializes in the production of specialized and a wide range of polyethylene films. The products are used in modern packaging systems and applied in the storage, transportation and sale of food products, household appliances, construction materials, pharmaceutical goods and other industrial products.

The production complex covers an area of 6,670 square meters and is equipped with modern Italian-made machinery. It produces a wide range of polymer and shrink films. The launch of the enterprise will enable the production of import-substituting goods worth US$9.5 million.

The project is being implemented under a two-stage expansion program. Total investment amounts to US$15.2 million, of which US$7.4 million has already been освоed at the first stage.

As a result of the project, 50 new jobs have been created. Further expansion phases are expected to generate additional employment opportunities.

In 2025, the enterprise produced goods worth 115 billion soums. In addition, products worth US$6 million were exported to Central Asian countries.

The company’s polymer products are used as local raw materials for packaging solutions for brands such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Flash, Chornogolovka, Ackerman, Asl Oyna, Biolife and Family Group.

During the visit, it was noted that the packaging industry remains one of the fastest-growing sectors of the economy. Increasing production volumes are accompanied by higher requirements for storage, transportation and market delivery, which drives demand for modern packaging materials.

It was emphasized that the development of such enterprises contributes not only to the growth of the packaging sector itself but also to the sustainable development of food production, construction, pharmaceuticals, agriculture and other sectors of the economy.
