In an exciting development for the automotive industry in Kazakhstan, GAC International and Allur Group have formalized their commitment to bolster local automobile production through a recent industrial cooperation agreement. The signing ceremony took place in February 2026 in Guangzhou, marking a significant milestone for both entities as they seek to reinforce their strategic presence in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) market.
GAC International, a subsidiary of the Guangdong Automobile Group, has been rapidly expanding its global initiatives. The recent agreement with Allur Group underscores its dedication to localizing production and creating a robust manufacturing ecosystem in Kazakhstan, a key node within the CIS. The deal was executed by senior executives including Chen Jiacai, GAC's vice president and president of GAC International, and Oksana Kholstinina, president of Allur Group, reflecting the importance of their collaboration.
During the signing, Chen Jiacai emphasized that this collaboration is a cornerstone of GAC's efforts to enhance its market foothold in the CIS region.

The initiative falls in line with GAC's strategic vision of 'Tech-Driven GAC, Advancing Global Reach with a Full-Chain Ecosystem,' which aims to harness innovation and technology to propel the company's global ambitions.
Kazakhstan’s strategic position in the CIS makes it an ideal location for this collaboration, providing a strong base for GAC's targeted expansion efforts. The partnership aims not only to facilitate the local assembly and production of a diverse range of GAC models but also to enhance the overall automotive landscape in the region. By leveraging the established networks and operational capabilities of Allur Group, GAC plans to execute its strategy of globalization effectively, thereby amplifying its presence in overseas markets and showcasing the technological proficiency attributed to Chinese automotive manufacturers.
In addition to increasing production capabilities, this partnership is expected to create numerous jobs and stimulate the local economy, bringing a ripple effect of growth throughout the region. The agreement opens new avenues for GAC and Allur Group to innovate collaboratively, enhancing their operational efficiency and expanding product offerings to meet the evolving demands of consumers in the CIS region.
As this partnership unfolds, GAC plans to utilize Kazakhstan as a strategic pivot to strengthen its local presence within the CIS, continuously advancing its cross-border operations and maintaining its commitment to sustainability in the automotive industry.
