A major Moldova-based logistics alliance is betting on Uzbekistan as its next growth frontier. The Moldova-American Association of Logistics and Transport (AMALT) — representing a coalition of ten transport companies with over 600 million dollars in annual revenue — is planning to open a full-scale operational center in Uzbekistan to serve its expanding US market operations.
The facility will handle the essential functions of modern logistics: dispatch coordination, accounting, compliance management, and customer support services for Moldovan transport companies operating in North America. The center is expected to create up to 400 new jobs, anchoring its operations in Uzbekistan’s growing pool of tech-savvy professionals and specialized talent.
This expansion signals genuine confidence in Uzbekistan’s logistics potential. AMALT currently manages delivery operations in Moldova, Poland, and the United States, working with major global clients including Amazon, the US Armed Forces, and FEMA. The decision to establish operations here reflects a deliberate calculation that Central Asia offers both competitive operational advantages and access to strong digital capabilities.
Yet the investment pitch extends well beyond traditional back-office functions. AMALT has signaled serious commitment to co-investing in digital transport solutions, educational initiatives, and local startup accelerators — essentially planting seeds for a broader innovation ecosystem that extends far beyond the immediate operational center. The emphasis on technology development and startup support suggests the logistics player views Uzbekistan not merely as a service delivery location, but as a potential source of logistics innovations and partnership opportunities.
Strategic timing and government backing
The talks gained momentum during an official government delegation visit to the United States in November 2025. Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Digital Technologies and Ministry of Investments engaged directly with AMALT leadership to advance these discussions, establishing investment priorities and charting a roadmap for deepening cooperation across logistics infrastructure, technology ecosystem development, and outsourcing capabilities. By the conclusion of negotiations, both parties had locked in priority collaboration areas and laid out a clear development trajectory.
What this means for international business
For companies in transport, supply chain management, and business services, this development opens meaningful strategic doors. Uzbekistan is positioning itself as a serious regional operations hub — not simply for product manufacturing, but for technology-enabled service centers that support global commerce networks. The emphasis on startup acceleration and technology ecosystem development creates genuine opportunities for international firms seeking partnerships, co-investment arrangements, or joint ventures in the logistics space. Companies serving North American and European markets will find a credible, capable alternative to traditional outsourcing destinations, particularly for logistics and transport support functions that require both technical sophistication and professional expertise.
