What Kpa Group does

KAZPROM AVTOMATIKA (operating as KPA GROUP) is a privately held Kazakhstani industrial automation engineering company headquartered in Karaganda and founded in 2002. It designs and delivers integrated plant-level automation solutions for large industrial enterprises, combining distributed hardware (PLCs, SCADA, frequency converters, sensors, control panels, enclosures, robots, servo systems) with its own proprietary MESone Manufacturing Execution System. The firm operates across three primary verticals — mining and ore processing (GOK), energy and utilities, and oil, gas and refining — with secondary coverage in machine building, food and beverage, and municipal infrastructure. Its architecture is anchored on a "unified cyber-physical layer" combining instrumentation, power engineering, drives, PLC, SCADA, and MES into a single delivery, and it operates an in-house electrotechnical laboratory for testing and certification.

The company's revenue model rests on three streams: (1) distribution of automation components via authorized partnerships with Mitsubishi Electric, TMEIC, Rittal, Schneider Electric, Honeywell, Wonderware, SMC, KROHNE, FANOX, and Leuze; (2) full-cycle engineering services including ASUPT and MES design, commissioning, and operational support on multi-year contracts; and (3) system integration of MESone with third-party ERP/PLM/SCM/LIMS. Pricing is bifurcated: complex projects are custom-quoted, while the shop.avtomatika.kz e-commerce storefront sells selected components with visible pricing in Kazakh Tenge. Distribution of premium high-voltage drives (TMEIC TMdrive series, 3.3-11 kV, up to 92 MVA) is the highest-value hardware line and is paired with claimed efficiency gains of up to 58% versus mechanical flow control.

KAZPROM AVTOMATIKA competes against foreign integrators in ASUPT design, equipment installation, and commissioning, claiming leading domestic position among Kazakhstani automation firms. Its go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales for complex projects with transactional e-commerce for components. Government alignment was reinforced in January 2026 when a delegation led by Kazakhstan's Prime Minister (who also serves as Minister of AI and Digital Development) visited the company. No revenue, headcount, or funding data is publicly disclosed, and the firm appears to have grown organically without institutional capital.
