Uzbekistan is one of the biggest cotton fiber producers worldwide. The Central Asian republic has been investing in its textile and garment industry for some years, banking on technology and know-how from abroad. The industry continues to anticipate massive expansion of capacities.
Militzer & Münch and its customers are also profiting from the investments in the textile sector. For one of the biggest textile exporters in the CIS, Militzer & Münch delivered the equipment to a new production site in the Fergana Valley, where the exporter combined two of his factories into one plant. Goods were sourced from Belgium, Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Korea, China, India, Switzerland and Turkey. The total transport volume was 650 units, loaded into 150 full truck loads and 500 40-foot containers.
“The project took about one year, it was very exciting, but also challenging,” says Renata Gafarova, Project Manager at Militzer & Münch Uzbekistan. “We had to coordinate the deliveries from ten different countries very precisely, observe the different customs regulations – and match all this with the customer’s requirements. We are proud and really happy that everything worked out so well.”
The investments offer Militzer & Münch potential for further orders. “The textile exporter is one of our biggest customers and we are proud to be working for the eight factories he operates across the entire Uzbek Republic,” says Khurshid Kasimdzhanov, Managing Director M&M Militzer & Münch Uzbekistan.
