Kazzinc is a major fully integrated Zinc producer with considerable Copper, precious metals and Lead credits.
All the company's operations are in Kazakhstan, mainly in East-Kazakhstan Region. It employes about 20'000 people in mining,
ore dressing, metallurgy, power generation and mechanical production.
The company was established in 1997 through the merger of Eastern Kazakhstan's three main non-ferrous metals
companies - "Ust-Kamenogorsk Lead and Zinc Combinate", "Leninogorsk Polymetallic Combinate" and "Zyrianovsk Lead Combinate".
All three producers were majority-owned by the Government of Kazakhstan, which also included the Bukhtarma Hydroelectric
Power Station into the new company under a long-term concession to improve its appeal to potential investors.
The controlling block of shares in Kazzinc has since been sold off by the State to the private sector, with Glencore
International AG of Switzerland becoming the company's main investor.
In the years since its creation, Kazzinc has significantly increased production capacity and output on
all fronts. The company continues to develop seeking to have its stable position among the world's five lowest cost
producers in its industry.
Kazzinc is certified under ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and
OHSAS18001 standards.
