CHARITY AND PATRONAGE OF THE ARTS

Kuziyev Dilmurat Pirmuhamedovich graduated from Kazakh Polytechnic Institute (now Kazakh Technical University) in 1975 with a degree in "Non-ferrous metallurgy" and in the same year as a young specialist was sent to the production association "Remstroytehnika", where he began his career as a senior engineer-technologist.

In 1978 he was appointed head of workshop, then head of pipe production, since 1985 he was appointed head of department of supervised installation works and in the same year he was appointed Deputy General Director of the Association. On all these positions Kuziev D.P. proved to be a specialist with creative approach to the assigned area of work. He was distinguished by his informal approach to any business. As a young professional, Kuziev D.P., in order to fully learn the work undertaken, independently passed all areas of production, acquiring professional knowledge with the help of colleagues, mentors, applying theoretical knowledge gained at the Institute, in practice. He studied production technology in a short period of time and gained professional experience, which contributed to his further qualification growth.

In 1987, the management of the association recommended him for the post of director of the Pressure Pipe Plant, which was being built under Kuziyev's leadership. The desire for the latest technologies, advanced management methods and, most importantly, strategic thinking, inherent in Kuziev D.P., formed the basis of all undertakings of the Pressure Pipe Plant, which in 1989 was the first to operate independently on a lease basis, i.e. on a full cost recovery basis.

In 1991, the plant was one of the first in the Republic of Kazakhstan to undergo privatisation, transforming itself into Joint Stock Company "BENT". The confirmation of the correctness of the path chosen by Kuziyev is that today BENT JSC is one of the flagships of Kazakhstani production, an enterprise that has achieved world recognition.

Now BENT LLP is a network of enterprises with a self-supporting network of structural subdivisions: a complex reinforced concrete structures plant, a poultry farm, a poultry factory, a meat processing plant and a pond farm.
Over the whole period of its operation, the company has not reduced its production and economic indicators, a credit to which is due to D.A. Kuziyev, its irreplaceable first head. Characteristic of the president of JSC BENT is his sincere attitude to people, from the head of a structural unit to the worker. Care for people, their social status and working conditions is the basis of a stable and qualified staff of engineers, technicians and workers, whose total number is over 2,500.
