An investment agreement has been signed in Uzbekistan to build the country’s first plant for the production of aluminum beverage cans. The project will be implemented by Arnest Packaging Solutions (AUR), a leading manufacturer of aluminum packaging for beverages in Russia.
According to the Ministry of Investments, Industry, and Trade of Uzbekistan, the plant will be established within the Special Industrial Park located in the Navoi region.
Investment and Job Creation
- AUR will invest approximately $100 million in the project.
- The plant will have a capacity to produce over 1.5 billion aluminum cans annually.
- More than 200 highly skilled jobs will be created.
- The plant is scheduled to start operations in autumn 2025.
A New Industry for Uzbekistan
The production of aluminum beverage cans represents a new sector for Uzbekistan, one that has not been developed in the country before. Over 30% of the products will be exported to international markets.
Arnest Packaging Solutions aims to expand its presence in export markets across Central Asia and the Caucasus through the localization of production in Uzbekistan.
CEO’s Statement
Alexander Isaev, the CEO of Arnest Packaging Solutions, emphasized:
“Launching production in Uzbekistan will strengthen our presence in the region and free up part of our export capacity in Russia, allowing us to redirect it to meet the needs of the domestic market.”
Economic Impact
This project marks an important step in developing Uzbekistan’s industrial potential. In addition to creating jobs, it will strengthen economic ties with neighboring regions and open new opportunities for exports.
