You can buy plastic buckets in Balkhash directly from the manufacturer, the HTI Group plant near Bishkek. Balkhash sits on the northern shore of the lake of the same name, and the town rests on two pillars: copper and fish. Fishers and fish processors salt, smoke, and dry the catch, cafes serve vacationers on the shore in summer, and canteens and maintenance crews support the copper smelter. For all of this, HTI Group molds buckets from 1 to 21 L, containers, trays, and jerry cans in the Bishkek Free Economic Zone (FEZ) and ships them to Balkhash by the pallet within the EAEU.
Nearby towns and villages: plastic buckets in Karaganda Region.
Demand in Balkhash comes from three areas: the catch and its processing, summer food service on the shore, and the copper industry's operations. Under each of the 14 buckets, you'll see who it's for, what goes in it, and how much it weighs empty: that weight matters to a fisher loading buckets into a boat and to a cafe handing out takeout.

For fish, Balkhash buyers usually go for large buckets: fish is laid in rows through the 332 mm opening of the 21 L bucket, and the lid keeps it covered while it cures on the way from the shore to the plant. The small items are for selling: visitors take a one-liter bucket of fish in oil home from the lake as a treat, and cafes hand out fried fish to go in the 750 ml tray. You can combine every item in the table in one shipment.
Fishing, summer tourism, and heavy industry expect different things from packaging. A fisher needs the salted catch to arrive sealed, a cafe needs packaging that's light and compact, and a plant crew needs a full bucket that's easy to carry across the site. Below are four situations typical of Balkhash.
Fish is salted in layers right in a 15 or 21 L bucket and taken to the plant sealed: the lid seats into a double rim and stays tight all the way down the dirt road. The wide opening lets you lay the fish in rows and later lift it out whole, without breaking the fins on the rim.
Salted and smoked fish is sold by weight from 5.6 L buckets. A clear body shows the goods through the wall while the lid keeps out flies and dust; white is left for the salting plant's label. The bucket sits right on the counter, and the vendor serves fish straight from it.
In summer, the shores of Lake Balkhash fill with vacationers, and cafes sell food to go. The 400 ml hexagonal container weighs 16.5 g and suits a salad or snack, and the 750 ml flat tray fits fried fish with a side. Spare empty containers stack neatly and don't crowd the kitchen.
The plant's canteens, repair crews, and facilities services buy packaging in bulk: 18 L for paint, 11.5 and 15 L for kitchen pickles, and 10 L jerry cans for water. The metal bail handle with plastic grip on buckets from 8 L up doesn't cut into your palm when you carry a full bucket across the site.
Demand for packaging in Balkhash comes in waves: fishers and salters buy before fishing season, cafes before summer, and plant services on their maintenance schedule. To avoid running short of buckets at the busiest time, check this list.

HTI has no warehouse or pickup point in Balkhash: orders are assembled and loaded at our plant in Ak-Chiy village, Bishkek FEZ. From there, the packaging travels to Kazakhstan by the pallet with a freight carrier within the EAEU, or you collect it from the plant in your own truck. Buckets of the same size ship in nested stacks, while jerry cans take up more room: 100 of the 10 L per pallet. Your sales manager will quote delivery time and cost to Balkhash when processing your order. Fish plants and cafes are better off getting all their packaging before the season starts rather than chasing demand with separate trucks.
Yes, buyers use the 15 and 21 L for this: their 303 and 332 mm openings let you lay fish in rows. The buckets are molded from food-grade polypropylene, and the lid seats tightly into a double rim. Learn more about packing fish on our buckets for fish and caviar page.
The 5.6 L bucket is the most practical: it fits on a counter, and the 224 mm opening makes it easy to reach the fish. A clear body shows the goods to shoppers, and a white one suits your plant's label.
For salads and snacks, the 250 and 400 ml hexagonal containers; for hot dishes, the 750 ml flat tray. Frying oil is easy to keep in a 5 or 10 L jerry can with a screw cap.

By the pallet within the EAEU via a freight carrier, directly from our plant in the Bishkek FEZ. You can also collect the pallets in your own truck. Your sales manager confirms delivery time and cost when you place the order.
Yes. A label works for a first order, and IML (in-mold labeling) for your regular products: the image is fused into the wall during molding, won't rub off under wet hands, and won't peel when washed.
600, because empty buckets nest inside each other. A pallet holds 816 of the 15 L buckets and 1,920 of the 5.6 L. These figures make it easy to estimate how many pallets your packaging for the season will take.
The catalog lists dimensions, weight, and pallet quantities for every bucket, container, and jerry can. If you're choosing between a white and a clear body, see our clear buckets page, and general delivery terms across the country are on our packaging in Kazakhstan page.
Tell us how much fish you salt or smoke per week and how you sell it: at the market, wholesale, or through cafes. Our sales manager will pick the bucket sizes and work out how many pallets your shipment to Balkhash will need.
