The MAZ-Weichai plant was built in eight months from scratch, on a previously undeveloped site. The enterprise plans to produce 20,000 engines a year, increase exports and recoup the investment in five years. It is possible to achieve, due to the fact that the plant is registered at Great Stone Industrial Park.

We note the comfortable conditions for doing business in Belarus, especially within the industrial park, where an excellent base for production of high-tech products is being created. Hence our interest in opening our own production facilities near Minsk. We believe that Belarus has many strategic directions for cooperation with China, especially within the industrial park. This project has good potential for the development of high-tech industries in your country.

Great Stone is one of the most interesting infrastructure projects along the Silk Road. The park is connected to the airport, the Baltic and Black Seas, with an area six times that of the port in Duisburg. The geostrategic location of the park is extremely beneficial for business in the context of the Belt and Road Initiative.
