Boosting Stone Processing Efficiency in Uzbekistan

Imperial Granit LLC, founded in 2018, is a stone processing company located in Yangiyul, Tashkent region. With 70 employees, the company specializes in cutting and polishing granite slabs and blocks for the domestic and export markets. Granite products are widely used in construction and architecture due to their durability, resistance to wear, and aesthetic appeal. The company’s expanded production helps meet the growing demand for high-quality natural stone materials in Uzbekistan’s expanding construction and real estate sectors.
To meet increasing market demand, Imperial Granit decided to expand capacity while improving energy efficiency. The company invested in advanced granite processing equipment — multi-saw block sawing machines, bridge laser sawing machines, and an automated granite polishing line. These state-of-the-art machines consume significantly less energy per square metre of final product compared to the company’s older equipment, while also enhancing production quality and output.
With a GEFF loan from Hamkorbank, the investment included equipment compliant with modern technical and efficiency standards. The new machinery reduces the facility’s specific energy consumption by 21% and lowers greenhouse gas emissions per unit of output, all while increasing annual production capacity from 110,000 m² to 160,500 m².
The Green Economy Financing Facility (GEFF) in Uzbekistan was developed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and is supported by the Canada through the EBRD’s High- Impact Partnership on Climate Action – HIPCA, the Climate Investment Fund and the Taiwan International Cooperation and Development Fund (Project Donors).
