From April 22 to 26, 2019, a business mission of the Omsk delegation took place, which covered three cities - Tashkent, Jizzakh and Samarkand.

Omsk-based manufacturer of equipment for the food and oil and gas industries, engineering services provider Polikon has attracted the interest of an Uzbek manufacturer of confectionery (halva) in automating and mechanizing the production process using Omsk equipment. In addition, the company's equipment is planned to be used at a new tire factory in Uzbekistan.
Agricultural machinery and equipment manufactured by the Kalachinsky Mechanical Plant from the Omskagrotehservice company aroused genuine interest among the participants in the business negotiations.
