A long-term commitment to Kazakhstan

In his remarks, the Chairman of AMPO Group, Mr. Iban Ferreira, underlined that the project goes well beyond the inauguration of a new building. “Opening this facility is not simply about opening a new building. It is about starting a new chapter in our relationship with Kazakhstan and with our valued customers and partners across the Caspian region,” he said. Ferreira also stressed the role the country plays in the global energy landscape: “Kazakhstan is a strategic energy market and plays an increasingly important role in the global energy landscape. For AMPO, being present here is an important step in our international development and, above all, a long-term commitment to our customers.” The Chairman thanked Ambassador Luis Francisco Martínez-Montes for his attendance, noting that his presence “reflects the importance of strengthening the ties between Spain and Kazakhstan”.

Building local expertise and customer proximity

We are bringing AMPO’s international experience to Kazakhstan while, at the same time, building strong local capabilities,” he said. Bindini also emphasized the importance of developing local talent. “For us, this project is not only about manufacturing and servicing valves locally. It is also about transferring knowledge, developing our team and creating the technical capabilities needed to support our customers in the long term. We are committed to growing together with Kazakhstan and contributing our experience and technology to the development of the local energy industry,” he added.

AMPO KAZAKHSTAN’s ambition is to become a strategic partner for Kazakhstan and the Caspian region, with a particular focus on critical valve maintenance services for key projects in the country.
