FACTORY STARTS IN TASHKENT, UZBEKISTAN

First module rolls down the production line at the new Miaraka modular factory in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.  After many months of preparation, the production line is up and running.  Many government officials including representatives from the US Embassy in Tashkent attended opening and dedication ceramonies of the first modular home ever produced in the country of Uzbekistan.  Penn Lyon Housing Systems in cooperation with Miaraka Invest, Inc is proud to have been a very important part of this project.

All of the attendees were inspired by the fact that a home could be produced in such a short time period.  It is certain that the modular housing industry will do just fine in Uzbekistan.  The first home is a 1,100 square foot 3 bedroom 1 bath ranch model.  22 additional ranch models will follow this first model.  In addition a large two story home will be produced for a buyer living in Tashkent.  Many interested buyers have expressed interest in the new modular home concept. 

UPDATE ON UZBEKISTAN: Training has now been completed and the factory is ready to start production. PLHS production experts will arrive in Tashkent, Uzbekistan during the third week of July to assisst with the start up of the factory. All of the tools and machinery have been shipped and put in place in the factory. Container with all the modular raw material components have been shipped and received in Tashkent. Those material are now at the factory and being unloaded into their respective positions at the factory. The management team in Tashkent has started hiring the initial employees to begin the production line. After a week of safety training and tool usage, the production will be ready to begin operation. With the support of the Penn Lyon Housing System team, the factory will be up and running before the end of July. High government officials will be on hand for the delivery of the first modular home from the Tashkent factory.

Current Projects

Penn Lyon Housing Systems is currently working on two projects in Southwest Asia, in the countries of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.  Both project will start producing modular homes this year.  In Uzbekistan we retrofitted an existing building to handle a modular production line.  All the machinery and equipment were shipped and installation was supervised by the PLHS team.  Raw housing materials are now being shipped to accomodate the production line.  Production will begin in Late June, 2011.

In Kazakhstan, the factory is nearing completion.  This will be a 105,000 sq. ft. ( 9,767 sq. meters) production facility that will include two full production lines.  This factory will produce 16 modules per day per shift at full production.  All the tools and machinery are being assembled in the US for export to the factory.  After factory setup we will begin to ship raw materials for modular factory production.  Training is currently taking place in the US at a modern modular factory.  PLHS offers full training for the management staff of the factory.
