Our story

Our story

From Naivasha to the dairy value chain

Founded in 2020 in Naivasha, Kirima Fresh Dairies Ltd began with a simple belief: that fresh, quality milk can build livelihoods across an entire community.

Today we work across the dairy value chain — pasteurizing, storing and selling bulk milk — while investing in the value addition that will shape our next chapter.

Mission

To deliver fresh, safe and quality dairy products while creating lasting value for farmers, partners and customers.

Vision

To be a leading, trusted name in Kenya's dairy value chain — from farm to table.

What drives us

Our values

  • Freshness — quality you can taste, every day.
  • Integrity — fair, transparent relationships with farmers and partners.
  • Community — growing together with the people of Naivasha.
  • Innovation — adding value at every step of the chain.

Our structure

Company structure

Kirima Fresh Dairies Ltd is led by a board of directors and organized across four areas:

  • Directorate — sets strategy and oversees the business.
  • Management — finance, administration and commercial operations.
  • Operations — pasteurization, bulk milk storage and cold-chain logistics at our Naivasha plant.
  • Field Team — farmer outreach, milk collection and rider coordination.

Value addition — cheese, yoghurt, cream and butter — sits within Operations, drawing on the same fresh milk supply chain.
