Kia Motors is expanding its global production network by establishing a new complete vehicle factory in the Kostanay region of Kazakhstan with an annual capacity of 70,000 units. This plant, with an investment of 200 million USD (approximately 267 billion KRW), is scheduled to begin full-scale production in the second quarter of 2025.
This plant is a strategic choice to compensate for production gaps in Russia and to strengthen competitiveness in the Russian and CIS regional markets. It plans to maximize efficiency and quality by introducing 70 robots in advanced welding, painting, and assembly lines.
