Sarens Kazakhstan is entering a new phase of expansion after signing a long term financing agreement with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The loan facility of up to €25 million will support the company’s efforts to expand its heavy lifting, engineered transport and installation capabilities across Kazakhstan and the wider Central Asian region.
The investment comes as demand continues to grow for reliable lifting and transport solutions linked to renewable energy projects and regional logistics infrastructure. With the new financing, Sarens Kazakhstan plans to strengthen its fleet through the acquisition of additional high capacity cranes, an expanded trailer fleet and specialised transport equipment. Part of the funding will also be allocated to working capital to ensure operational readiness as project activity increases.
A major focus of the expansion will be the wind energy sector. Equipment financed through the facility is expected to support the installation of at least 11.75 GW of additional wind capacity. This aligns with Kazakhstan’s strategy to increase the share of renewable energy in the country’s total energy mix to 15 percent by 2030. For Sarens, the investment represents both fleet development and a contribution to the region’s transition toward cleaner energy.
At the same time, the expansion will strengthen the company’s ability to support projects linked to the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route, an increasingly important trade corridor connecting Europe and Central Asia. As cargo volumes and infrastructure investments continue to rise along the route, engineered heavy lifting and transport services are playing a critical role in ensuring efficient and safe project execution.
The financing structure provided by the EBRD offers long term maturity that is often difficult to obtain through local commercial banks. This provides the stability required for capital intensive investments and underlines Sarens’ long term commitment to Kazakhstan.
With expanded capacity and international financial backing, Sarens Kazakhstan aims to strengthen its role in supporting major infrastructure, energy and logistics developments across Central Asia.
