Primus Capital LLP

What Primus Capital LLP does

Primus Capital LLP is a private direct investment firm headquartered in Astana, Kazakhstan, founded in 2020. It operates across construction and real estate development, education, manufacturing, and healthcare sectors through its wholly owned subsidiaries Primus Construction, Primus Industries, and Primus Education, alongside a joint venture interest in QazCem Industries LLP. The firm collaborates with international corporations, local businesses, banks, institutional investors, and high-net-worth individuals to originate and fund strategic investments, while also acting as a market-entry conduit for foreign companies entering Kazakhstan.

The firm's primary strategic initiatives include a $176.9-200 million joint venture with Sinoma Cement (a subsidiary of China National Building Material Group) to build a 1.3 million ton annual capacity cement plant in Aktobe region targeting 2027 operations, and the establishment of Coventry University Kazakhstan — the first British university campus in Kazakhstan — which opened in Astana in September 2024 with 400+ students and is expanding to Almaty in September 2026. In parallel, Primus Education launched Ardingly Astana, the first branch of Ardingly College in Kazakhstan, in September 2024. The firm derives returns through direct investment and transaction fees rather than disclosed pricing, and operates from a small core team of 1-10 employees based at Business Center Q2 in Astana, leaning heavily on partnerships with international education and industrial partners to deliver execution capacity.
