"The production of aluminum packaging for beverages is a new technology that has not been previously introduced in Uzbekistan. It is planned to export more than 30% of the products produced. The implementation of the project will also become another example of cooperation, when the government of Uzbekistan creates not only favorable conditions for investment in the form of preferential tax treatment and subsidies, but also physically develops infrastructure, offering a foreign investor a ready-made production site that fully meets the technical requirements of a particular production," said Deputy Minister of Investment, Industry and Trade of the Republic of Uzbekistan Khurram Teshabaev.

Arnest Packaging Solutions is a leader in the production of aluminum cans in Russia and the EAEU. Localization of production in Uzbekistan will significantly strengthen the company's representation in the export markets in the EAEU countries, Central Asia and Transcaucasia, and will also release export volumes produced in Russia and redirect them to meet the Russian market," said Alexander Isaev, General Director of AUR JSC.
