The Pwani Story
In 1981, three minds came together to build what is Kenya’s most iconic manufacturer of edible oil and fats company; Pwani Oil Product Limited.
Ramesh Kanji Malde together with his brothers, Anil and Naresh Malde, began Pwani Oil Company production of coconut oil in Mombasa. The operations expanded at the Jomvu Pwani Oil Products factory with corn and sunflower manufacturing before settling for palm oil refining in 1985–a site which Pwani Oil Product are still located at till today.
Today, Pwani Oil Product modern state of the art factory at Kikambala, Kilifi, has expanded and has a capacity to refine over 1000 metric tonnes of oil a day, prepared to the highest international standards. Adding to this, Pwani Oil Products new production facility at Kikambala has impacted the washing and cleaning industry with excellent laundry and bathing soaps, which is to the highest quality. We strive daily to be seen as an organization that ‘refines lives’ by consistently manufacturing premium quality products that offer great value.
Pwani Oil Products has helped consumers enjoy their lives, confidently facilitating them to cook healthy and wash hygienically. All Pwani Oil Products have been certified by KEBS and HALAL. Pwani Oil Products Ltd is a proud member of the UN Global Compact.
