German industrial powerhouse KSB has announced plans to set up a major manufacturing facility in Pakistan, marking a significant step in deepening economic cooperation between the two countries. The announcement followed a meeting between a high-level KSB delegation and Federal Minister for Board of Investment (BOI) Qaiser Ahmed Sheikh, where new opportunities for investment and partnership were discussed.
KSB officials praised Pakistan’s improving investment climate, noting that their past experience in the country had been “highly positive.” The delegation expressed strong interest in expanding KSB’s footprint within Pakistan’s industrial and engineering sectors.
