FullCare (Kenya) Medical SEZ Limited plans to inject Kes14.1 billion in a state-of-the-art production facility at Tatu City.
The medical care and protective equipment manufacturer said it will supply clients in the United States, Europe, and Africa.
FullCare Singapore Managing Director Wu Jianfei noted that Kenya represents a great base for international investment by Asian companies.
“We are pleased to establish our first production facility on the African continent. For more than two decades, we have pioneered production in Asia of the highest quality medical protection materials for human healthcare management.”
The first phase of FullCare’s facility is expected to create 1,000 jobs and serve international customers in more than 70 countries.
Its clients already include well-known distributors of medical supplies.
“We are delighted to welcome FullCare, a major player in healthcare equipment production, to Tatu City Special Economic Zone,” said David Karimi, Deputy Country Head of Rendeavour, the owner and developer of Tatu City.
“From its base in Tatu City, FullCare will make a significant contribution to the supply of high-quality medical materials to Africa and the rest of the world.”
Tatu City is Kenya’s first operational Special Economic Zone (SEZ) that offers companies incentives for setting up.
Numerous companies have already flocked to the facility to enjoy friendly taxes, including Twiga Foods, Copia, Kenya Wine Agencies Limited, and Dormans.
Others are Cooper K-Brands, Grit Real Estate Income Group, CCI Global, Freight Forwarders Solutions, Friendship Group, and Davis & Shirtliff.
