History
The technical project was prepared by the Rostov branch of the Gipropischeprom-3 institute [3] . The first phase of the Shakhtinsky plant of synthetic detergents of the State Agro-Industrial Complex of the Kazakh SSR - a building for the production of laundry detergent and liquid detergents with an annual capacity of 30 thousand and 4 thousand tons, respectively, was introduced in 1974 [1] . In addition, an administrative complex and a drainage station were built [1] . By commissioning the soap box with a capacity of 9 thousand tons of toilet soap in 1975, the construction of the second stage of the plant was completed [1] , which allowed Tentekskaya CHPP of Shakhtinsk to be converted into a year-round operation, which provided the plant with technological steam. The appearance of the plant also partially solved the problem of women's employment in Shakhtinsk [4] , which was relevant for many mining towns [2] .
During Soviet times, the Shakhty synthetic detergent plant was one of the largest chemical enterprises in the Karaganda region [5] and one of the largest enterprises of the Ministry of Food Industry of the Kazakh SSR [3] .

Since 2001, the company Moneta Dietrens LLP, with a staff of 272 people, has resumed production, the production of a new brand of Vesta laundry detergent [2] [6] has been started.
