Kenya

Insulation & refractory supply for Nairobi

Nairobi is Kenya’s main manufacturing centre, with food and beverage, pharmaceutical and building-materials plants in the Industrial Area, Athi River and Thika, and geothermal power at Olkaria to the north-west. At 1,700 m altitude, strong sun and cool nights put UV and thermal-cycling stress on outdoor systems. Containers travel from Mombasa to the Nairobi Inland Container Depot by standard-gauge railway.
