Yesterday, we had the honor of welcoming the Ambassador of the Republic of Kazakhstan, H.E. Dr. Nurlan Onzhanov, together with Consul General Taubaldy Umbetbayev and representatives of the Kazakh Consulate General in Frankfurt, to our KOCH Solutions site in Wadgassen. The Saarland state government was represented by State Secretary Thorsten Bischoff.

The discussion focused on the challenges and opportunities of future raw material extraction and production—an increasingly important topic in light of global transformation processes and the growing relevance of critical raw materials. Building on the strong economic ties between Kazakhstan and Germany, the exchange highlighted the importance of establishing secure, resilient, and sustainable value chains.

Together with our CEO Juergen Maier, the participants explored areas of collaboration in international cooperation, technological innovation, and long-term, sustainable approaches across the entire value chain, particularly in the raw materials and mining sector.

The visit provided a valuable platform to bring together perspectives from industry, politics, and international cooperation, and to discuss joint approaches for forward-looking solutions. It also underlined the strong potential for deepening economic cooperation between Kazakhstan, Germany, and the European Union, especially through industrial partnerships, technology transfer, and long-term collaboration.

KOCH Solutions sees itself as an active partner in the development of innovative technologies for sustainable raw material extraction and looks forward to continuing this exchange with our Kazakh partners.
