The headquarters of the investment holding AZC Orbis is located in Slovakia, yet its assets span across various Central European countries including the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland.

Under its management is the Czech company Nymwag, specializing in the production of various types of freight wagons, including tank cars, hoppers, and covered wagons.

The Nymwag factory, located in Nymburk, has produced a significant number of wagons over its existence and plans to increase production in the coming years.

Establishing a new manufacturing center in Uzbekistan not only contributes to the development of local infrastructure but also significantly enhances the efficiency of transport operations in the region.

This step underscores Nymwag’s commitment to expanding into international markets, including its recent collaboration with the Indian freight wagon manufacturer Texmaco Rail.

Thus, the collaboration between Saneg, the industrial zone “Gallaaral,” and AZC Orbis Invest promises to be a crucial milestone in the development of freight wagon manufacturing in Uzbekistan, facilitating modernization and strengthening the country’s logistics base.
