MACHINERY AND ENGINEERING INDUSTRY IN UZBEKISTAN
• One of leading industries of Uzbekistan is ferrous and non-ferrous industry, including manufacture of copper, refractory and heat resisting metals, gold. The largest enterprises of the branch are – Navoi and Olmaliq mining plants.
• The Uzbek plant of refractory and heat resisting metals (city of Chirchik) operates on the basis of tungsten ores and molybdenum, found out in the Republic. The other plant located in the city of Bekobod (Tashkent province) produces steel and rolled metal by processing scrap metal of metallurgical plant.
• According to the Program on cardinal expansion of localization of manufacture of the machine-building equipment and mounting of equipment, machines and units for small enterprises, mini-technologies on processing agricultural and mineral raw material for 2009-2012 - it is planned to realize more than 530 projects. The program stipulates expansion of localization of manufacture in the heavy industry, agriculture, chemical branch, a fuel and energy complex, oil-and-gas sector, mining industry, aircraft construction, mechanical engineering, the electrotechnical industry, and also in many other things fields.
