Providing essential base-grade structural sheets, hot rolled plates, and cold rolled mild steel options for diverse heavy industrial application systems in the Tashkent and Samarkand manufacturing corridors.
Uzbekistan has emerged as the leading manufacturing and industrial hub in Central Asia. Backed by strategic state programs for localized industrialization (Mahalliylashtirish dasturi) and a fast-evolving transportation corridor, the domestic automotive industry is experiencing unprecedented scale expansion. Historic manufacturing clusters such as the Asaka automotive plant (producing passenger cars under the UzAuto Motors banner) are now joined by state-of-the-art electric vehicle joint ventures (BYD Uzbekistan Factory in Jizzakh) and truck assembly plants in Samarkand. This growth has created a substantial local demand for advanced metallurgical products.
Developing light, energy-efficient vehicles requires specialized steel grades. To maintain strict safety coefficients while keeping the vehicle mass low, manufacturers must utilize Advanced High-Strength Steels (AHSS) and Ultra-High-Strength Steels (UHSS). As a prominent global manufacturer, Ningbo Puppet Steel Co., Ltd. supplies high-performance automotive steel sheets directly to stamping plants, body-in-white (BIW) facilities, and tiered component suppliers across Uzbekistan.
With foreign direct investment driving the creation of new assembly lines in the Jizzakh Free Economic Zone, local automotive manufacturing is rapidly shifting from conventional internal combustion engines (ICE) to hybrid and pure electric platforms. These newer platforms require advanced structural parts with superior energy absorption to protect the underfloor battery trays, increasing demand for dual-phase (DP) and complex-phase (CP) steel grades.
The government of Uzbekistan encourages local parts manufacturing to reduce reliance on imported sub-assemblies. This policy requires local metal stamping companies to procure high-grade cold-rolled sheet metal that complies with international standards (such as EN, JIS, and ASTM). Our team supports local fabricators by offering custom dimensions and pre-slit steel coils, reducing domestic manufacturing waste.
Ningbo Puppet Steel Co., Ltd. utilizes advanced rolling and heat-treatment technologies to supply steel that meets the strict demands of automotive manufacturers. Our products offer excellent deep-drawing properties, high yield strength, and reliable corrosion protection.
For outer body panels (such as doors, hoods, and roofs), we provide interstitial-free (IF) steels like DC05 and DC06, which prevent aging and stretcher strains during pressing. For structural safety cages (including A/B/C pillars, rocker panels, and roof rails), our High-Strength Low-Alloy (HSLA) and Dual-Phase steels provide the necessary crash energy absorption.
High-yield hot-rolled coils and heavy-gauge structural plates optimized for vehicle chassis parts, industrial floor decking, and pressure vessel applications across Central Asia.
Uzbekistan is a double-landlocked nation, presenting unique logistics requirements for importing heavy steel volumes. At Ningbo Puppet Steel, we address these challenges through our multimodal transport network, shipping from the Port of Ningbo-Zhoushan to designated industrial hubs in Central Asia.
Our logistical operations utilize the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan land transport corridor. We transport containerized coils and sheets from our Ningbo facility via rail lines through Khorgos or Altynkol, passing directly to Tashkent-Tovarniy and Sergeli stations. This route helps maintain consistent delivery schedules and minimizes handling delays.
Long overland journeys expose steel products to moisture and temperature fluctuations. To prevent rust, we apply rust-inhibiting oils and wrap each coil in VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) paper. The coils are then secured with steel bands on heavy-duty wooden skids to prevent movement and damage during rail transit.

Explore our deep-drawing automotive-grade steel sheets, galvanized panels, and custom-fabricated steel assemblies engineered for vehicle bodies, structural pillars, and protective chassis systems.
Modern vehicle design focuses on reducing emissions and increasing fuel efficiency while maintaining high safety standards. We support these goals by continuously updating our production processes and material offerings.
We are introducing ZnMAl-coated steel sheets to the Central Asian market. These coatings offer up to three times the corrosion protection of standard hot-dip galvanized coatings at the same coating thickness. This improvement helps extend the service life of vehicles exposed to road salt and variable winter conditions in Uzbekistan.
To help manufacturers optimize material use and reduce assembly steps, we offer tailored processing services. By combining sheets of different thicknesses and grades before stamping, fabricators can place high-strength steel exactly where it is needed for structural integrity, keeping other areas light and easy to form.
For complex deep-drawn panels, we recommend Interstitial-Free (IF) steels such as DC04, DC05, and DC06. These grades have low carbon content and are stabilized with titanium or niobium, providing high elongation and limiting wrinkling or tearing during high-pressure stamping operations.
We coordinate rail and truck transport via established trade corridors. Shipments leave our facility near the Ningbo-Zhoushan port, travel by rail across China, and pass through border ports like Khorgos or Altynkol into Uzbekistan. We handle all export documentation and work with local logistics partners to ensure delivery to Tashkent, Samarkand, and other manufacturing hubs.
Our steel products are manufactured to meet major international standards, including EN 10130, EN 10346, JIS G3141, and ASTM standards. We supply Mill Test Certificates (MTC) with chemical composition, mechanical properties, and coating thickness measurements for every shipment to verify compliance with your specifications.
Yes, we provide processing services at our plant. We can slit coils to your specified widths or cut sheets to exact lengths, helping you reduce scrap rates and prepare materials directly for your stamping lines.
