Kärcher commits to Kenyan market
Kärcher will invest EUR 3 million into transforming its Kenyan business into a full subsidiary. The German company manufactures cleaning equipment and is aiming to expand into a growing East African market. The plans include a regional distribution centre at Freight Forwarders Solutions (FFS) in Tatu City, a special economic zone (SEZ) near Nairobi.
FFS provides warehousing services for Kärcher’s operations in Kenya. Based out of a 14,000 sqm warehouse complex in Tatu City and a logistics/distribution hub in Tatu Industrial Park, it has a network spanning East and Central Africa.
Christian May, deputy CEO and CSO, Kärcher: “Our goal is to transform the cleaning landscape in Kenya by bringing advanced products and services to our customers.” The company hope to benefit from the business-friendly environment in Kenya’s first mixed-use SEZ. (mk)
