HISTORY OF BENT

In 1987 the Pressure Pipe Plant (ZNT) was put into operation. The plant produced reinforced concrete pressure pipes - 500 mm to 1400 mm in diameter and 5,000 mm in length. In 1987, when the law on the lease came into force, the company was one of the first to move to self-supporting work under the terms of the lease. From 1987 to 1991 the post of director of the plant was held by Kuziev Dilmurat Pirmukhamedovich.

In 1991, when the law "On Privatisation" came into force, the plant was one of the first in Kazakhstan to be transformed into a joint stock company with a private form of ownership and Kuziyev D.P. was elected President of JSC "BENT".

In 1993, in the difficult years of transition to a market economy, the company's management made an extraordinary decision - to reorient the plant to the production of reinforced concrete sleepers using the German technology "FOSSLO". BENT LLP is the author of implementation of Skl 14 rail fastenings in Kazakhstani railways (one of the authors of the patent for FOSSLO rail fastenings in the Republic of Kazakhstan is Mr. Kuziev, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of BENT LLP). Today, this strategic decision has allowed the company not only to retain its team, but also to become one of the main suppliers of reinforced concrete sleepers for the railway system of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
