The announcement came during a meeting between a high-level KSB delegation and Federal Minister for Board of Investment (BOI) Qaiser Ahmed Sheikh, where both sides discussed bilateral economic cooperation, industrial partnerships, and new investment opportunities in Pakistan.
During the meeting, the German delegation expressed confidence in Pakistan’s investment climate, noting that KSB’s previous experience in the country had been “highly positive.” The delegation added that the company was exploring further opportunities within Pakistan’s industrial sector.
Minister Qaiser Ahmed Sheikh welcomed the decision, highlighting Pakistan’s status as a large market of 250 million people with vast investment potential. He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to strengthening trade and economic ties with Germany and invited KSB, along with other international firms, to invest in Special Economic Zones (SEZs).
The minister further noted that the Pakistan Stock Exchange had achieved historic milestones and that the overall business environment was improving rapidly. He added that KSB’s investment in the SEZs would be well-timed, given the country’s investment-friendly policies and growing economic stability.
The KSB representatives praised Pakistan’s efforts to attract foreign investment and reaffirmed the company’s intention to establish a long-term industrial partnership in the country.
Founded in 1871, KSB is one of the world’s leading engineering and industrial companies, specialising in pumps, valves, valve systems, and fluid engineering solutions. The company operates in over 60 countries worldwide.
