For the Uzbek Technological Metals Company (TMK), 2025 has been a year of rapid growth and industrial transformation. In a short period of time, the combine has formed a fully integrated model based on the "ore-metal-market" principle.
Strategic projects for critical minerals have entered an active phase, and for the first time, the export of metallic rhenium with 99.9% purity has been established. The share of deep processing of raw materials and high value-added products has increased.
In 2025, memorandums of cooperation were signed with more than 40 leading companies from over 15 countries. The principles of ESG and sustainable industrial development were consistently implemented in production.
TMK aims to significantly expand its production scale globally in the coming years as well. Uzbekistan's share of global tungsten reserves will increase from the current 2% to 5.1%, and its production volume will rise from 0.05% to 14.8%. The graphite production project will be fully launched, with an annual production of 140 thousand tons of high-quality graphite concentrate.
Sulfuric acid production has been established at TMK Chemicals LLC, which will increase the value of production to $7.5 million in 2026 and over $30 million by 2028. Within the framework of the TMK Smart Powder project, high-precision products based on powder metallurgy are manufactured, and the value of the products will increase to $11 million by 2028.
The "Technological Metals" innovation ecosystem, formed by TMC, unites the "Metals of the Future" Technopark, R&D Park, the Graduate School of Technological Metals, the investment unit, and the cluster system. As a result, by 2028, it is planned to create 50 new technology companies, and by 2030, the export of high-tech products and services will reach $1 billion.
Building on the solid foundation laid in 2025, TMK aims to bring Uzbekistan to a stable position in the global critical mineral supply chain between 2026 and 2030.
