BEREKE A is a construction company that supports infrastructure development in Kazakhstan. Since its establishment in 1998, it has played a part in the country’s development through the construction of roads and bridges. Founded by Rashkur Spanalieva, the company is now headed by her younger sister, Erkinkul Ospanaliyeva, who has inherited her sister’s vision. Having begun her career as an accountant, she was appointed to her current position after serving as head of the company’s finance department. Over the years, she has been a key figure in the company’s growth. What she values most is “integrity that upholds quality.”
BEREKE A values quality above all else. Shyngys Ospanaliyev, the company’s Deputy Director, explains, “Roads are used for many years. They are not just something that is used for a short time and then thrown away. Therefore, we put a lot of emphasis on ensuring that the work we do is of a high quality from the outset, so that the roads are durable and don’t need to be repaired again and again.”
BEREKE A has long placed its trust in Hitachi Construction Machinery’s machines. For over 15 years, the company has used Hitachi Construction Machinery’s machines to successfully complete many projects. At present, it owns eight excavators, which it used last year to complete a large-scale bridge construction project. The company is continuing to grow, having also won, among other things, contracts for two more large-scale bridge projects.
“For us, integrity is the most important thing. Hitachi Construction Machinery always delivers on time and provides maintenance as agreed in the contract. That’s why they are always our first choice,” says Erkinkul.
Eurasian Machinery, which handles sales and after-sales service for Hitachi Construction Machinery in Kazakhstan, has also been a supporting pillar in BEREKE A’s growth. According to Shyngys, “They respond quickly and efficiently to all service requests, helping to keep our operations running smoothly. Other companies also offer competitive products, but Hitachi Construction Machinery really stands out from the crowd in terms of the speed and quality of its maintenance.”
Hitachi Construction Machinery’s machines are also highly trusted by the operators who actually use them. “Hitachi Construction Machinery’s excavators are extremely safe. They are designed to protect operators from underground electric currents, so there is no risk of electric shock. What’s more, thanks to the floating seat and ergonomically designed chair, I don’t feel any pain in my back even after working for long hours,” says Nurdaulet Moldashev.
The excellent after-sales service is another reason why BEREKE A chooses Hitachi Construction Machinery.
“When I contact the service center, they respond immediately. The speed of their response is very reassuring. So far, we haven’t had any major breakdowns, and that high level of reliability is one of Hitachi Construction Machinery’s defining features,” says Nurdaulet.
Of the projects BEREKE A has been involved in, perhaps the most impressive is the extensive construction work on the Kentau-Turkestan route. This road, which cuts through rocky mountains, required the excavation of 55,000 cubic meters of rock. Shyngys recalls, “Even at temperatures as high as 47°C, the Hitachi Construction Machinery’s machines worked non-stop for two months. Even in places where we couldn’t use dynamite because there were nearby residential areas or solar panels, we were able to complete the project without using explosives thanks to the Hitachi Construction Machinery’s machines.”
Their success in such large-scale projects has seen their orders double from 10 to over 20 per year.
“We plan to continue growing. We have to learn and work hard to achieve the same level of construction as other countries where large-scale projects are underway,” Shyngys says enthusiastically. His passion for the construction industry knows no bounds.
“The most important thing is to love your work. That way, work feels like a holiday. Honestly, I love my job so much that I don’t want to take a day off,” he laughs.
Erkinkul also has a clear vision for the future of the company.
“We are planning to expand our business and achieve even greater success. We have already built around 30 bridges on the Europe-China route. We intend to continue building large-scale bridges and roads in the future.”
BEREKE A continues to pursue quality and grow together with its reliable partners, moving forward into the future as it supports the infrastructure of Kazakhstan.
