Kulikov Confectionery House intends to open a 5,000 square meter production site in Almaty in January 2027. According to Forbes Kazakhstan, citing the company's Marketing Director Olesya Kushchenkova, the decision is driven by the need for an urgent relocation of capacities.
Reasons for relocation and new locations
The company will locate its new workshop in the western part of Almaty, in the Momyshuly Street area, and will also move its office and existing culinary production there. The need to find a new location arose due to plans to demolish the business center where the capacities based at the former Belkamit plant are currently located. Consequently, the company has decided to suspend the project for constructing a large factory in Kazakhstan to focus resources on opening the site on Momyshuly.
"The large factory is currently on pause. We have frozen the project and are putting all our efforts into opening the Momyshuly site by the end of the year"
Changes in assortment and production
The new site plans to expand the production of savory pastries, confectionery, and ready-to-eat meals. The production of festive cakes and part of the assortment in demand in the Kazakhstani market will be moved from Bishkek to Almaty. At the same time, products from Almaty will also be supplied to the territory of Kyrgyzstan.
Despite moving part of its capacities, the company will maintain ice cream production in Kyrgyzstan. This decision is due to lower milk costs and convenient logistics.
