About Kewat Nairobi and Naivasha
Made in Kenya. Made whole. Made to come back.
Kewat Industries Ltd is a Kenyan rotomoulding manufacturer. We make polyethylene products in our own plant and serve Kenya and East Africa.
We don’t make plastic things. We make the things a family, a farmer and a fisherman rely on every single day, and we make them so well that they only ever need to buy them once.
Our story
One process. Many lives.
We are headquartered in Nairobi and manufacture in Naivasha, with moulds and process from our exclusive partner, ROTO Group of Slovenia.
Water tanks, septic tanks, Wimbi boats, planters, wheelbarrows, tubs and trays: each one moulded as a single seamless piece, with no joints to leak and nothing to rust.
Kewat Industries Limited was founded with a vision to promote environmental responsibility, and began its journey by developing products that meet the needs of local communities. Sustainability, quality and community engagement are the values that guide us.
We make for the people who depend on what they buy: home owners and builders, fishermen and boat operators, hotels, farms, schools and counties. We sell across East Africa.
What we stand on
Three pillars, one promise.
- 01
Made in Kenya
By Kenyan hands, for the way Africa really lives: the heat, the salt, the rough roads and the long rains.
- 02
Made in one piece
Rotomoulded whole, with the same European ROTO technology trusted across the world.
- 03
Made to come back
Renew, reuse, recycle. At the end of its life, bring a Kewat product back: we recycle it and pay you its value as recycled material.
