Why Thika needs industrial bearings
Industrial town with edible-oil, food-canning and engineering factories. Bearings are wear parts: every motor, pump, conveyor pulley, gearbox and farm machine has them, and plants replace them on a fixed maintenance cycle or after a failure that stops production.
Kenya is East Africa's commercial hub. Mombasa port serves Kenya and the landlocked markets beyond it, Nairobi hosts regional head offices and most manufacturers, and agriculture, from tea and flowers to maize and dairy, still employs most of the workforce.
