Production Site Selection Support
Help selecting and verifying production sites in industrial parks and special economic zones in Kazakhstan and Central Asia for specific process requirements
We help select and verify production sites for specific manufacturing processes — from requirements analysis to signing lease or land purchase agreements in special economic zones and industrial parks in Kazakhstan and Central Asia. Insufficient power and water supply, an overly long logistics radius or defects in land title can undermine a project's economics before construction even starts, which is why we verify every site before the client signs.
Service Overview
When choosing production land in Kazakhstan and Central Asia, Chinese companies often face information asymmetry, unclear land title and complex incentive terms at industrial parks. With our on-the-ground team, we provide end-to-end site selection support from defining requirements to signing the contract.
Scope of Services
- Defining the site's technical requirements based on the process flow, material throughput and power, water and gas needs
- Calculating environmental parameters such as the sanitary protection zone required for the target industry
- Searching for candidate plots through KAZAKH INVEST, special economic zones and industrial parks
- Verifying plot infrastructure: grid and gas connections, transport access, and supplier capacity nearby
- Checking the land's legal status: designated use, encumbrances, mortgages, and the SEZ administration's lease/purchase terms
- Calculating and comparing the tax and customs incentives available at different SEZ sites
- Supporting negotiations with the SEZ administration or park operator through to contract signing
Our Advantages
- On-the-ground verification: Our local team inspects plot infrastructure and title status on site rather than relying only on documents.
- Technology-driven: Site requirements are set by the same team responsible for the subsequent process design and feasibility study, ensuring the site matches the process.
- Policy knowledge: We know the differences in entry conditions and incentives between special economic zones in Kazakhstan and Central Asia, helping clients make the best choice.
- Support throughout: From defining requirements to signing the contract, reducing time and compliance risks at the site selection stage.
How is this service different from contacting an SEZ's investment promotion office directly?
We first define the technical requirements of the specific process and verify sites on the ground before signing, rather than simply putting you in touch with a park or providing a list of candidates.
Are we limited to plots within special economic zones?
No. We also assess industrial parks and private plots outside SEZs, as long as they meet the project's requirements.
Do you verify the land's legal status?
Yes, including its designated use, encumbrances and the specific terms of the contract with the park administration.
Can we commission verification of an already chosen plot only?
Yes. This can be ordered as a stand-alone service without going through the full site selection process.
