Ownership & Financing

Self-financed,by design.

No external debt. No outside investors. KBS is fully family-owned.

What it means for you:

Long-term view

Predictable capacity, continuity of teams, and projects that don’t stall when markets wobble.

Faster decisions

Briefs get greenlit quickly, capital is allocated promptly.

Enduring strength

Supply and timelines remain stable, backed by five decades of disciplined growth.

The SEEPZ Advantage

Akāra operates inside SEEPZ (Special Economic Zone) a secure, customs-controlled enclave designed for export manufacturing.

Duty benefits

Eligible duty-free import of materials, tools, and components for export production.

Frictionless movement

Simplified in-and-out for materials, finished jewellery, and authorised repairs/returns.

Security

On-site customs supervision, controlled entry/exit, and audited processes protect your IP and inventory.

Predictable cost base

No import duty on eligible inputs reduces landed cost variability.

Where your vision meets our craft.
