Darkhan Satybaldy, the Akim of the Turkistan Region, held talks with Igor Gummennyy, the head of the Ukrainian company UBC Group, to discuss the establishment of a factory in Turkistan for producing refrigerators, refrigerated shelves, and freezers designed for cooling beverages, QazMonitor reports citing the Akimat’s press service.
