Türkmen Kaolin OJSC was established by Balkan Quarry Department of the Ministry of Industry and Construction Production of Turkmenistan in partnership with the Derýaplastik economic society, a member of the Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs. The company's production facility in Jebel is capable of producing 20 thousand tons of enriched kaolin per year.
