UMI — COMPANY

One business, in one place, since 2009

Uyz Mai Industry has never done anything except process soybeans. Everything the company knows, it learned in the same region, with the same crop, over the same seventeen years.

A soybean is the densest package of protein and energy that grows in this climate. The whole company exists to open that package without damaging what is inside it.

Uyz Mai Industry LLP was registered on 2 November 2009 to process soybeans in what was then Almaty Region and is now Zhetysu. The people who founded it had already spent two decades in the agricultural and industrial markets of Kazakhstan and the CIS, and they chose one crop rather than a portfolio.

That decision shaped everything after it. The plant was built where the beans grow, inside the irrigated belt, rather than near a city. The product line stayed at four positions instead of spreading. The raw material base was developed with growers in the same district rather than bought on the open market. Focus is not a slogan here; it is the reason a buyer gets the same protein figure in June that they planned against in January.

Today the company processes 150,000 tonnes of soybeans a year and supplies poultry integrators, feed mills and food producers across Kazakhstan, from Uralsk in the west to Oskemen in the east.

The people at the centre

Three names have run this company since it was registered. In an industry where suppliers change hands and management turns over, that continuity is the thing a long-term buyer is actually assessing.

Background and biography to follow.

Reliability. Scale. Flexibility.

Three words that most suppliers use and few can explain. Ours describe an orbit, and an orbit has a mechanism underneath it.

Scale is mass150,000 tonnes a year is not a boast. It is the cause of everything below it.
Gravity is reliabilityNobody has to hold an orbit in place. It holds itself, for years, without effort or persuasion. That is what a dependable supplier feels like from the outside.
Orbit is flexibilityAn orbit is not a fixed point. It adjusts continuously and does not break. It is the honest description of a supply relationship that survives a bad season.
Gravity runs both waysThe moon pulls the sun as well. Our Hi-Pro grade exists because partners needed it, which is how a product line should be written.

The raw material base is part of the company

A processor that buys on the spot market inherits whatever the season produced. We work with growers in the irrigated Zhetysu belt on agreed varieties, so the bean arriving at the gate is one we helped choose.

Irrigated land, where yields hold through a dry year
Short haul from field to intake
Long-term relationships rather than seasonal purchasing
