Happy International Children’s Day!

Today, KGNT hosted a vibrant and heartwarming celebration dedicated to International Children’s Day! Many years ago, our Company established a wonderful tradition of inviting employees’ children to visit KGNT. Today, we are delighted to continue this tradition, opening the doors to the world of professions, projects, and engineering solutions for the younger generation.

While parents were busy with their daily work, our coordinators — Company employees who accompanied the children throughout the day — helped make the event engaging, educational, and fun.

The children enjoyed an office tour, where they had the opportunity to see where and how their mothers and fathers work, as well as learn about the various areas of the company’s activities.

The day was filled with smiles, questions, amazement, and genuine interest ✨

At the end of the celebration, each child received a gift and a commemorative certificate — a wonderful conclusion to a busy and unforgettable day.

The event became a true celebration of childhood, care, and the warm family atmosphere that defines KGNT.
