When we launched our new fabrication facility in Karen earlier this year, we didn't just build a space for innovation - we built it to run on clean, sustainable energy.
Our Karen facility is now powered by a 45-kilowatt peak (kWp) solar system, marking another step forward in Almar Kenya's commitment to smart, responsible operations.
Manufacturing in Kenya comes with energy challenges. Industrial electricity costs are high and for a fabrication facility where welding equipment and cutting machines run throughout the day, energy is a major operational cost.
Cost Efficiency – We're generating electricity at a fraction of grid power costs during peak production hours.
Reliability – By producing our own power, we're protected from outages that can disrupt production schedules.
Sustainability – We're reducing our carbon footprint while demonstrating responsible business practices in the region.
Kenya's consistent sunlight makes solar a natural fit. Our facility consumes most of its energy during daylight hours - exactly when solar performs best.
This solar-powered facility enables us to deliver what we've always promised: simple, reliable, and fast container solutions. From custom modifications to specialized fabrications, we now have the sustainable infrastructure to support innovation across East Africa.
Faster turnaround times, greater flexibility and the capacity to take on complex projects - all powered by renewable energy.
As we continue serving customers across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and beyond, this facility stands as a symbol of progress - where innovation meets sustainability.
The sun powers more than just our panels.
It powers our progress.
