Goods and services: what companies in Kazakhstan do
Kazakhstan's economy is built on industry and mining: extraction of oil and gas, coal and metal ores, their processing and enrichment, metallurgy — production of pig iron, steel and ferroalloys, and finished metal products. The registry lists plants and manufacturers of construction materials, industrial equipment and machinery, food and other goods, as well as service companies — from car and equipment repair to IT and logistics.
Trade is the largest industry by company count: wholesale and retail trade together account for over 100 thousand organizations. It is followed by construction — residential and non-residential buildings, road construction and installation works — agriculture, transport and education. The biggest players on the market are mining and industrial enterprises operating in the Atyrau, Karagandy and Mangystau regions, and national holdings headquartered in Astana and Almaty.
How to check a company from Kazakhstan
Statsnet aggregates company data from official sources: registration details, officers and founders, lines of business, financial statements, court cases and public procurement. Search for an organization by name or BIN, open its profile — and you will see its status, registration date, industry and links to other companies. Screening a counterparty against official data helps confirm the company is active, not dissolved and not going through bankruptcy.
