The Central Asia Capital (CAC) private equity fund has officially commenced construction on the Central Asia Hub industrial park in Tokmok. This facility will host the production of Muras vehicles—a flagship initiative executed in strategic partnership with the Russian automotive leader AvtoVAZ.
Strategic Location and Government Endorsement
Tokmok was selected for its superior logistics and the city’s readiness to expand its business infrastructure. The Mayor’s Office has guaranteed full support through every phase of construction. The Fund’s 10-year roadmap aims to establish a comprehensive automotive cluster, systematically increasing the percentage of domestic localization.
The strategic significance and high level of state support were underscored during a recent site visit by a high-level delegation. Attendees included Sergey Vakunov, the Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the Kyrgyz Republic, along with leadership from the Russian Trade Representation and prominent business executives.
Investing in Human Capital and Risk Mitigation
Launching a major manufacturing operation requires a highly skilled workforce. To address this, the Fund is proactively cultivating an educational ecosystem around its enterprises.
The first practical step in this initiative was the launch of a modern computer lab at Tokmok’s School No. 13, completed in collaboration with the Russian Embassy.
"It is vital to our mission that industrial investment is coupled with an investment in people," says Anton Sobin, Founder of Central Asia Capital. "We intend for these new production capacities to foster a modern educational environment that prepares future specialists and drives technological advancement in the region."
For the Fund, this approach serves as both a pipeline for specialized talent and a foundation for building trust within the local community. A robust social responsibility policy—often referred to as a 'Social License to Operate'—proactively mitigates regional tensions and safeguards investor capital against informal operational risks.
