WayStar Group Opens a New Chapter in Logistics: Kazakhstan's First-Ever Train Loaded with Pelletized Meal in Grain Wagons Dispatched to China

16.03.2026

WayStar Group has successfully completed a unique project for the market — for the first time in the history of the Republic of Kazakhstan, a full train loaded with pelletized meal in grain hopper wagons has been dispatched.

It is worth noting that the first trial shipments of this type of cargo in grain wagons were carried out in December of last year on a limited scale. The successful results of these pilot shipments made it possible to scale up the solution and move to full-route train operations.

The successful implementation of this project highlights WayStar Group's ability to introduce innovative logistics solutions and adapt transportation infrastructure to handle non-standard cargo types. The company continues to develop export routes and strengthen its position in the international transportation market, creating new opportunities for its partners and customers.
