The revival of an industrial giant: the Mailuu-Suu Light Bulb Factory is to be modernised

Bakyt Torobaev, the President’s Special Representative for Special Assignments, is holding on-site meetings across the country’s regions to develop the industrial sector and resume operations at formerly major manufacturing enterprises.

During his visit to familiarise himself with the operations of the Mailuu-Suu Lamp Factory and to hold an on-site meeting, Bakyt Torobaev announced that the necessary funds had been allocated to restore the factory’s operations.

According to him, at the start of this year, in accordance with the President’s order, 116.9 million KGS were allocated to provide financial support to the factory. These funds were used to settle outstanding wages for employees and to pay severance pay to redundant staff.
In January of this year, following an urgent instruction from the Head of State, a meeting was held on site to discuss the current state of the enterprise, production volumes, staff remuneration issues, social problems, and further measures to preserve the plant.

In addition, the President’s Special Representative for Special Assignments, Bakyt Torobaev, reported that, by order of the Cabinet of Ministers, 1 billion 159 million 863 thousand som have been allocated for the resumption of operations at this manufacturing enterprise.

Furthermore, in accordance with a presidential decree, funding of 931.6 million KGS has been earmarked for OJSC ‘Mailuu-Suu Lamp Factory’, of which 600 million KGS has already been allocated. These funds are being used for their intended purpose and are being directed towards settling the enterprise’s outstanding debts to various organisations and institutions.
These decisions represent one of the key steps aimed at ensuring the socio-economic development of the region, restoring production capacity and attracting new investment.

Currently, the implementation of the President’s instructions and the decisions taken is being monitored by state bodies. As part of this work, preparations are underway to modernise the enterprise’s production infrastructure, reconstruct engineering networks and bring them into line with modern requirements. At the same time, comprehensive work is being carried out across the plant’s extensive site to establish and develop an industrial park.

The resumption of operations at the Mailuu-Suu Light Bulb Factory is of particular importance for restoring the country’s industrial potential.

Furthermore, this will contribute to increased tax revenues for the local budget and have a positive impact on the region’s overall economic growth. Once the project is implemented, it is expected to create hundreds of new jobs, improve employment levels and raise residents’ incomes.
