Under the agreement, EBRD will provide a five-year, KZT700m ($2 million) loan, which will be released in two equal tranches.
The loan amount will be used to renovate the company’s newly acquired warehouse and administrative facility, as well as the transportation fleet and other capital expenditure.
The project is expected to increase Intellpack’s operational efficiency but also improve overall storage capacity by more than 50%. The project is being supported through the EU’s Investment Facility for Central Asia (IFCA).
The EBRD has been working with Intellpack since 2014. In the past four years, the bank has been helping Intellpack improve its financial and operational management.
