On Monday 5 May 2025, Shukhrat Ibragimov, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Eurasian Resources Group (ERG), a global metals and mining company headquartered in Luxembourg, outlined the growth path for subsidiary ERG Service.
As reported by ERG, Shukhrat Ibragimov emphasised the significant growth potential and strategic importance of ERG Service during a planned visit to the group's operations in Kazakhstan. ERG Service marks its ten-year anniversary in 2025.
The in-house engineering arm provides specialised support to the group's mining, metals and energy divisions. Its core activities include repairing energy, mining, transport and technological equipment, manufacturing engineering products, and operating foundry and rolling production. According to ERG, this guarantees high operational self-sufficiency for ERG's Kazakhstan operations.
"It is the right moment for ERG Service to leverage its competitive advantages and reinforce our position," said Shukhrat Ibragimov. "Having established strong internal supply chains, we now plan to extend our portfolio of high-quality products and services to the markets and at a greater scale."
In 2025, ERG Service will start producing hammer mills at the Pavlodar Machinery Plant, supplying ERG's Aksu Power Plant for coal grinding.
In addition, ERG Service's Repair and Mechanical Metal Rolling Plant will upgrade its ball-rolling mill, doubling productivity and, for the first time, allow the manufacture of 60 mm grinding balls.
These strategic machine-tool upgrades are expected to expand ERG Service's capacity for upcoming projects and on-site repairs. A new laser-cutting machine, already operational, has reportedly boosted sheet- and profile-cutting productivity by 60%, reducing the production time for energy components such as beater arms from 57 minutes to just four.
ERG Service has also installed a high-speed CNC gantry drilling machine, which is set to triple its annual production of tube plates.
