Company
NOMAD CORP LLP is an industrial company focused on localizing the production of warehouse systems and metal structures in the Republic of Kazakhstan and forming an export platform for Central Asia.
The company is forming a modern production cluster with a high degree of automation and localization.
Market
The Republic of Kazakhstan occupies a strategic position in the system of Eurasian transport routes.
According to
World Bank
data, cargo traffic growth along the Middle Corridor exceeds 30% year-on-year, with a forecast of up to 11 million tons by 2030.
According to data from
Knight Frank,
Colliers,
and CBRE,
the vacancy rate for warehouse real estate in Kazakhstan is:
- Class A — 4–5%
- Class B — 7–9%
This confirms a structural shortage of warehouse capacity.
The import dependency of the warehouse systems market is 70–80% (main supplies — Russia, China, Turkey).
The total logistics market in Kazakhstan is estimated at USD 25–32 billion, and in Central Asia — USD 45–55 billion.
What is the appeal of the project?
Import substitution.
The creation of a local full-cycle manufacturer reduces the region's dependence on supplies from Russia and China.
Shorter delivery times.
Two to four weeks compared to 60–120 days for imports.
Scalability.
The project allows for a 30–50% expansion of capacity without a significant increase in infrastructure costs.
Export potential.
Deliveries to Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan.
High margins.
EBITDA of 22–28% upon reaching operating capacity.
